I need to have COMMit WORK with in a FM, which is calling in UPDATE task

Question

Hello
I am sending out the custom IDOC from SAP to partner application by writing a custom my_OB_IDOC_FM, well.
With in this my_OB_IDOC_FM, for some functionality, i am using a standard SAP FM and I need to use a COMMIT WORK immediately after this standard SAP FM call.
But, all my IDOC is calling in update task, so once am triggering IDOC (inturn my_OB_IDOC_FM is calling in UPDATE task) am getting dump because of that inside used COMIT WORK statement!
So, pls. let me know how can replace this COMMIT WORK  or hoe can i fix my issue? can i do like CALL FUNCTION standard_SAP_FM in background task/seperate task? so that i can use COMMIT WORK?
Thank you

I've dealt with something similar before.
You could make a new z-program and run in a background job... like this:
* create the job
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
      EXPORTING
          JOBNAME          = mv_JOBNAME
      IMPORTING
          JOBCOUNT         = mv_JOBCOUNT
      EXCEPTIONS
          CANT_CREATE_JOB  = 1
          INVALID_JOB_DATA = 2
          JOBNAME_MISSING  = 3
          OTHERS           = 4.
* submit the program to the job
    SUBMIT ZPROGRAM
      WITH i_ebeln in mr_ebeln
      WITH updall = 'X'
      WITH wq_simul = ''
      TO SAP-SPOOL
        DESTINATION sv_output_device
        IMMEDIATELY ''
        KEEP IN SPOOL 'X'
        WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
      USER sy-uname
      VIA JOB mv_jobname NUMBER mv_jobcount
      AND RETURN.
* submit the job
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
    EXPORTING
        JOBCOUNT             = mv_JOBCOUNT
        JOBNAME              = mv_JOBNAME
        STRTIMMED            = 'X'
    EXCEPTIONS
        CANT_START_IMMEDIATE = 1
        INVALID_STARTDATE    = 2
        JOBNAME_MISSING      = 3
        JOB_CLOSE_FAILED     = 4
        JOB_NOSTEPS          = 5
        JOB_NOTEX            = 6
        LOCK_FAILED          = 7
        OTHERS               = 8.
