Skip Error message in submit report

Question

Hello Gurus,
I am using SUBMIT <REPORT> command inside a loop of my calling report. For one record the SUBMIT <report> is throwing an eror message due to which my report is getting stopped by displaying the error message.
My requirement is to skip the record if there is any error in SUBMIT <report> and process rest of the records.
Please help me out.

Hi,
Vasanth's idea regarding doing a CALL FUNCTION IN BACKGRUOND TASK does work, unless you need to get back some information from the SUBMIT, as export parameters can't be set when using IN BACKGRUOND TASK.
As i need to get data from the SUBMIT, i'll keep looking for other alternatives, so other ideas are still welcome...

Hi Manuel,
Try calling report in background task like below:
    CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
      EXPORTING
        jobname          = c_name                    "this name can be any name defined in constants(you do not have to create a job name anywhere in system or SM36)
      IMPORTING
        jobcount         = w_number
      EXCEPTIONS
        cant_create_job  = 1
        invalid_job_data = 2
        jobname_missing  = 3
        OTHERS           = 4.
*" Job opened successfully
    IF sy-subrc EQ c_0.
*" Call program to process IDoc
      SUBMIT ZSubmit WITH <any value>                                                      " e.g. p_field1 EQ <value>
                      VIA JOB c_name NUMBER w_number
                      AND RETURN.
[Note: In ZSubmit report you can send the data to calling program through ABAP memory i.e. Use EXPORT parameter to export data
Ex: constants: c_memory(7) type c value 'MEMORY1'.
At the end of ZSubmit report, before returning to the calling program write below statement:
EXPORT i_message TO MEMORY ID c_memory1.]
*" Successful processing of IDoc
      IF sy-subrc EQ c_0.
"Here you can import data from ZSubmit report
import i_message from memory id c_memory1.
After retrieving the data, free the memory otherwise it will affect the performance of your report:
Free memory id c_memory1.
*" Close the job
        CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
          EXPORTING
            jobcount             = w_number
            jobname              = c_name
            strtimmed            = c_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.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps!
