Removing or destroying an ABAP program from memory

Hello!
Is there a command to kill, unload, remove or destroy a previously called ABAP program from memory? Let me explain what I'm trying to do:
I'm doing some WM developments and I use the function L_TO_CONFIRM to confirm transfer orders. This function belongs to function group L03B (program SAPLL03B) and eventually it makes external  calls to subroutines belonging to program SAPML03T.
If my Z program calls this funcion, the SAPLL03B program is responsible for loading SAPML03T into memory and everything works fine. The loaded programs list (on the debugging menu) are like this:
No     Program          Group with
52     SAPLL03B       
78     SAPML03T      52
This is also what I get if testing L_TO_CONFIRM from SE37, where it also works.
But I wanted to reuse some subroutines from SAPML03T on my Z program, so I call something like this:
PERFORM set_quit_icon(sapml03t) ...
This call happens before the function call, so SAPML03T gets loaded by my Z program first, and stays on the memory. The list of loaded programs then looks like this:
No     Program          Grouped with
  1     ZWMO_023
27     SAPML03T       1
So after calling the external subroutine in SAPML03T, I do some more coding and finally call the function L_TO_CONFIRM. Inside this call, my list looks like:
No     Program          Group
  1     ZWMO_023 => My Z program
27     SAPML03T       1
28     SAPLL03B       
So SAPML03T is grouped with my Z program and not SAPLL03B as it would be if I hadn't called the external subroutine first.
Now, the problem:
Since SAPML03T and SAPLL03B apparently share some global data (at least global workarea/table LTAK), in a normal call (SAPML03T)LTAK gets filled by a select statement and instantly (and somewhat inexplicable from what I new until now) (SAPLL03B)LTAK also gets filled by the same data. Well, I've only seen stuff like this with field-symbols but this is not the case. I would bet this two workareas would always be in fact two different workareas, but during the straight function call they are not. They are the same (I wish I could find their pointer addresses (like C++ stuff) to prove they were the same, but I couldn't). But if I call the external subroutine first and SAPML03T gets loaded, then I do have two different LTAKs and that's where I have problems, because L_TO_CONFIRM was coded considering this single workarea thing and when I have two, it doesn't work.

Yes, I tought about that.
As a matter of fact, just last week we had another global memory issue in a costing user-exit and we tried solving it with a STARTING NEW TASK. This initialy solved our problem, but this command leads to the opening of a new gui session, and when running this cost calculation procedure in the background, a short dump COMMUNICATION FAILURE was raised, probably because of the lack of a SAP GUI link. We then used DESTINATION 'NONE' and this solved the problem (I think it also opens a new LUW).
Also my WM problem is on a Z application that will be running under SAP Console, and I don't think opening a new GUI session with STARTING NEW TASK under SAP Console will work. I should try it anyway. - edited: I just remebered I did this a couple years go and it works
I could use DESTINIATION 'NONE' in this case too, since the funcion module is RFC-enabled already. There are a few ways to solve the problem (which is already solved by the way). My main question still is about removing a whole program from SAP memory through ABAP commands.
Thank you very much!

  • Call ABAP program from Unix script passing dynamic filename

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to call an ABAP program from a Unix script passing a dynamic filename to the ABAP program?
    We are receiving a file from an external company and on receipt of the file want to call an ABAP program passing the filename.  The filename is made up of File ID, Date and Time which we need to read in the ABAP program.  We usually use Events to trigger a program which is fine when the filename if static however since this filename will be dynamic we cannot do this.  In addition we cannot just rename the file to a static name in the Unix script as we need to know the value of the date and time from the file ID in the ABAP program.  I can change the ABAP program to check our /in directory for a Filename that starts with the fixed File ID however I thought there must be a better way of doing this.  We want the external company to put this information in a file header record but they don't want to change the file contents.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sinead.

    You could follow the following method
    1.Let the external file reside in the SAP application layer in a defined path e.g. /usr/sap/tmp/interface/working/
    2.Write an ABAP program which will include the following steps:-
       i) read all files in the file path using function module EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
      ii) Read the data from files existing in the directory using OPEN_DATASET statement
    iii) After the files have been read move the files to another directory e.g. /usr/sap/tmp/interface/backup/ or you can delete the file.
    3.Schedule this program to be executed depending on the frequency of the external file being generated.

  • Trigger a waiting ABAP program from a User Exit of CO01

    Hi all,
       We would like to launch a ABAP program from a User Exit (EXIT_SAPLCOZV_001) of CO01, this ABAP program has a special characteristic: using Function Module RFC_PING_AND_WAIT, so this program will be existing until terminating event coming.
        Our purpose is terminate CO01 normally before finishing of ABAP program. We don't know if it's possible?
        Actually:
           1. when we use SUBMIT ..., the process will stop CO01 (stop not normally) and then launch ABAP program. => This is not suitable for our purpose.
           2. when we use SUBMIT ... and RETURN, CO01 will wait for finishing of ABAP program => This is not suitable for our purpose too, because we wish CO01 terminated normally when ABAP program is still existing and waiting for its terminating event.
    Do you have a solution that is suitable for our purpose, could you please help us?
    (The context is below:
    Time:  Begin-->CO finished> ABAP finished-->    
       Launch CO01 --> Call User Exit --> Call ABAP program for waiting --> CO01 saved normally.
    > ABAP program still waiting ---> waiting for terminating event       
    Thanks a lot,
    Vinh Vo

    Hi,
         Try with the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE, it takes eventid, and eventparm as import parameters in the User exit.
    1) With Eventid, you create a background job of the ABAP program and schedule it. Eventparm can be the Production order number.
    2) So when ever the Event is triggered the FM gets triggered and which in turn run the ABAP program, so the foreground the CO01 transaction runs without waiting for the ABAP program to complete.

  • Startrfc - SAP utility to invoke ABAP programs from External systems

    We have used the startrfc uitlity that comes along with the SAP Presentation CD. This is bundled with the SAP RFC SDK kit. The startrfc utility can be used to invoke ABAP programs from external systems or servers.
    When using the startrfc from the SAP server using the parameters
    startrfc -h 10.60.0.31 -s 01 -c 100 -u USERNAME -p PASS -F <Function Module> -E TPPARAM=\usr\sap\trans\bin\tp_domain_<SID>.PFL -T LIST,300,w=list.txt
    the desired results are achieved.
    However when using the same startrfc with the exact parameters from another server we get the message " Incorrect user or password". If we use the SAP GUI from this server to connect to the SAP server using the same username and password we are able to connect to the SAP system.
    Has anyone encountered any similar issues with Startrfc? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi NIlesh,
    Did you check that the password and user ID entered are in capita letters?

  • Calling ABAP Program from a Process Chain

    I am calling an ABAP Program from Process Chain by adding a Process Type u201CABAP Programu201D,
    My ABAP program writes lots of information using write statements.
    I looked in Process Chain Log; I do not see output from Write statement. I am pretty sure my write statements were executed. I also looked in SM37 job log. I do not see any more information.
    Where to see the output generated from ABAP.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First find out where your ABAP program the data written.You need to write it into and spool then only you can see it.
    Transaction SP01, you can use the FM 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' in your abap program to write to spool.
    Thanks,

  • Call ABAP program from a Feature - PE03

    We are in process of upgrading from 4.6 C to ECC 6.0.  One feature (CSTV1) will not activate because there is a limit on generated programs to under 10,000 ABAP statements.  SAP told me to call an ABAP program from the feature to reduce the number of ABAP statements in the generated program.  Has anyone created a feature that called an ABAP program?  I searched SAP help and I can't find any information about calling a ABAP program.
    Thanks in advance,
       Mark Ashabraner

    Hi Mark,
    You can try it this way.. Get the name of the ABAP Program generated by the feature from its attributes. it will be something like '1PAPA/FEAT020Z0106'...May be you can change this program ie  put a substantial chunk of this code in a subroutine in another program & call that with a PERFORM from this Program..

  • Call ABAP Program from outside SAP

    Hi all,
    How can I call an ABAP program from outside SAP, for example from a C++ executable, a .NET assembly or a JAVA package ? Are their "adapters" provided by SAP for this ?
    Angela

    Hi Angela,
    as mho already stated:
    For external connections to ABAP, the sap-proprietary "remote function call (RFC)" is a common way.
    SAP delivers an RFC-library for this, and for some development environments SAP even offers a connector on top of this library to make connectivity more easy (SAP Java Connector, SAP Business Connector, SAP Connector for Microsoft .Net). An RFC is always starting function modules in ABAP, not ABAP programs, and these function modules need the attribute "remote-enabled".
    (Remark: in the context of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration, SAP offers adapters for connectivity, also for ABAP systems.)
    For ABAP systems on basis code line 6.20 and above, the remote-enabled function modules can externally be used as web services.
    Information on RFC can be found in the SAP Help Portal http://www.help.sap.com, e.g. [RFC Call - Example Program|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/733760ccb411d2b4550060941936e3/frameset.htm]. A search in SDN provides links to the Help Portal as well.

    This part is beyond the ABAP question, and my guess is pretty simple: like on any other J2EE server.

  • Urgent: call ABAP program from BSP

    hi BSP experts,
    We just want to trigger an ABAP program to say "Hello World" in BSP and see the wording "Hello World" on web browser when running it from BSP.  One BSP expert Raj gave the answer by using the following in BSP:
    oninitialization:
    submit ('z_program_name') and return exporting list to memory.
      call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
           tables
                listobject = listobject.

           exporting
                report_name = 'z_program_name'
           tables
                html        = html
                listobject  = listobject.
      clear output_str.
      loop at html into html_wa.

    We put the above in our BSP and then activate them, but get the following error:
    Field "LISTOBJECT" is unknown. It's neither in one of the specified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement. "DATA" statement."DATA" statement.
    And the error stopps here:
    submit ('z_program_name') and return exporting list to memory.
    call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
    tables
    listobject = listobject.
    Any idea? 
    We will give you reward points!

    hi Tanguy,
    Eventually, I have figured it out on how to make the code works by showing "Hello World!" on web browser. But actually we would like to run another ABAP program which open a new container on users' machines, download an Excel template stored on server to the opened container on users' machinese, and then dump SAP table data to the opened excel template. This program works very well through SAP GUI, but users would like to run it on web that we tried to run this program in BSP, but it doesn't work with your code! Any idea?
    Thanks alot!

  • How to get data in ABAP program from multicube in external BW system

    Hi friends,
         I want to get data from one multicube which resides in an external BW system, in my ABAP program internal table. Is there any SAP standard RFC / BAPI for this or is there any other way around or I have to design my own program to get the data ?
        To make my requirement clearer, my ABAP program is in one BW box and the above mentioned multicube in another BW box. I want to get data from the multicube into my program.
        Any help is appreciated with points.

    Look at the following FM; you may find the FM RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC useful.

  • Calling an ABAP program from a document list

    Hi,
    we have the following problem with a custom ABAP program.
    This program executes a lot of user's functions, such as documents creation, material movements creation, and so on.. from a single dynpro.
    We would like to call this program from a list of documents with a call-transaction and we would like to come back to the list at the end of all user's activities.
    Unfortunately we are not able to use a call_transaction since the program has got many commit_work and, after a call_transaction it stops at the first commit_work.
    Is there another way to link a list to an abap program ?
    Thank you very much.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    If your Dynpro program is writted in a moduralized way like Form..endForm
    you can try calling this form from your list program using the appropriate
    values where ever necessary. Like wise the screen/programs also.

  • How to call ABAP programs from Excel

    Hello everyone,
    Currently I'm investigating the integration of Excel and ABAP program. I find it's easy to call Excel from ABAP program, but does anyone of you know how I can first open and do some actions in an Excel sheet first, and then, for example, when I press the save button, the data will be transferred back to ABAP system? I think when openning the Excel, the logon of the backend system is needed.
    I've ever seen this functionality in some BW-reporting tools, but I cannot remember the details.
    Thank you very much and best regards,
    Leon

    yes in BW we are having this concept of creating wookbooks & queries.
    If u have BW server Go to Transaction RRMX  - u will get a Microsoft Excel sheet.
    Here it allows u to logon to the SAP system.
    For details see this link.
