Submit statement in ABAP program

Hi All,
      I am using two submit statements in my program for two different reports. When i run the program i get the output screens of the two reports at the ouptut. Is there any way i can hide the user seeing the output screens of the two programs and display only the output screen of my program. If you have any clues please post it.
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Rathi

You can call executable programs from other ABAP programs using the following statement:
SUBMIT <rep>|(<field>) [AND RETURN] [<options>].
You can either specify the name of the program you want to call statically by entering the program name in the code of the calling program, or dynamically by specifying the name of a field (in parentheses) containing the name of the program. If the system cannot find the specified executable program when trying to execute the SUBMIT statement, a runtime error occurs.
If you omit the AND RETURN addition, all data and list levels of the calling program (the entire internal session) are deleted. After the called executable program has finished, control returns to the level from which you started the calling program.
If you use AND RETURN, the system stores the data of the calling executable program and returns to the calling after processing the called program. The system resumes executing the calling program at the statement following the call.
The SUBMIT statement has a set of additions <options> for passing data to the called program and specifying various other processing options. Some of them are described in the following sections:
Have a look at below link. It will help you.

  • Dout in Submit statement in print program....

    Hi all,
    In my print program, after printing my forms i need to call another print program. For this im using SUBMIT statement.
    I hope my print program goes to an update task. So when it encounters a function module or submit statement it coming out of the print program.
    The same logic is working fine when i click 'PRINT PREVIEW' button in the shop papers list of IW32 Transaction. But the control comes out of the program when i go through the PRINT button in the IW32 transaction.
    Im not sure whether the control is coming out cuz of any update task.
    So please help on this. It's urgent.
    Thanks,
    karthik

    SUBMIT always starts new LUW. Not sure if I understand the rest of your "doubt"... You might want to read a bit more on the LUW concept and also check the ABAP documentation on SUBMIT.

  • Problem with Submit statement into print program for delivery

    Hi all,
    i got a problem with the SUBMIT statement that i put into a print program associated to a delivery output message.
    If i print the message by VL02N or VL71, everything works.
    But if i associate the output with RV56ABST, the SUBMIT instruction isn't accepted and i get the message
    "Processor ABAP: POSTING_ILLEGAL_STATEMENT"
    There is any solution to this situation?
    Why i cannot use the SUBMIT statement in this case?

    Hi Simone,
    you could try to do the operation in a separate task (call a function in starting new task). This will decouple your current process from the new task.
    Cheers,
    Stefan.

  • Can we use is null in our select statement in ABAP program

    hi,
    I want to use 'is nul' or 'not null' in select statement of my ABAP program for any field. I have written below query but I am getting sy-subrc = 4 and getting no data. Can anyone resolve this.

  • How to get Runtime for each statement in abap program

    Is there any tool which tells the runtime of each statement in our program..apart from sto5 and se30
    Thanks in advance
    PRASANNA

    Determining the calculation time for calculating the tangent of 1. Since the runtime of the statement is less than a microsecond, the runtime of several executions in an inner loop is measured. The exection time for the loop itself is also measured in order to deduct it as an offset. These measurements are executed several times in an outer loop and the mean value is created using division by n0. Through division by ni, the runtime of an individual statement is determined.
    DATA: t0    TYPE i,
          t1    TYPE i,

  • Using SUBMIT in an ABAP program.

    Hello,
    There is a need in my function module where I need to take the help of a transaction wherein I would require the values of an internal table ( which is populated somewhere in the transaction program ) to be passed back to my function module where I intend to use these values to populate in a structure and to do some other mumbo jumbo with it.
    So, I did the following:
    In my function module, I was able to create a structure which would hold the exact same stuff like the data of the internal table in the transaction program.
    I then wrote the following SUBMIT code so it jumps to the transaction program to get the values I need.
    EXPORT internaltable TO MEMORY ID c_memory.
            SUBMIT ZTRANSACTIONPROGRAM
              WITH w_param1 EQ '1000'
              WITH w_param2 EQ iw_something
              AND RETURN.
    IMPORT internaltable FROM MEMORY ID c_memory.
    What is happening basically is :- When I debug the code, I find that the execution does go to the transaction program I want it to go. But, soon after it jumps back to the calling FM code. ( Is this because of the return statement I have added here?) And, the internal table which is imported is empty. No values whatsoever.
    If I want it to go all the way to the line of code in the transaction program - exactly after which that internal table( which I need ) is getting populated - what would I have to do?
    I could insert some code which basically says " Hey! If my calling program is "this"(my FM)  -> only then copy this particular internal table at this line ( I would want to insert the code at the place where I would need a data transfer) to the memory id. " Plus, I would want this internal table to be exported so I can import it back to my FM and use it. And, may be an EXIT statement after that? So, I would not want the whole of the transaction program to execute.
    Could you help me figure out how I need to code this requirement of mine in the transaction program? Is this doable? Please provide how I would need to code this out in the transaction program.
    Would appreciate suggestions and alternatives to this approach.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Alice.

  • Create spool for background jobs which uses submit statement

    Hi Gurus,
                 I have a quick question regarding the backgroud jobs. When we run a program in the background , it should create a spool for us, but, the problem comes when I am running a program in the background, its not creating the spool. This program uses SUBMIT statement. This program collects the data and it will submit to the other program and then retuen. In this case, its not creating a spool. Its very important for us to look at the spool for this program. Does anybody cam across this kind of problem? I need ur inputs.

    4.     Structure of ABAP Programs
    4.1     Type
    •     When an ABAP program is run, its processing blocks are called. ABAP programs are controlled from outside the program itself by the processors in the current work process. For the purposes of program flow, we can summarize the screen processor and ABAP processor into the ABAP runtime environment. The runtime environment controls screens and ABAP processing blocks. It contains a range of special control patterns that call screens and processing blocks in certain orders. These sections are also called processors. When a ABAP program is run, the control passes between various processors.
    •     In the R/3 System, there are various types of ABAP program. The program type determines the basic technical attributes of the program, and must be set when created. The main difference between the different program types is the way in which the runtime environment calls its processing blocks.
    •     When an application program is run, it must at least call the first processing block from outside the program, that is, from the runtime environment. This processing block can then either call further processing blocks or return control to the runtime environment. When an ABAP program is started, the runtime environment starts a processor (dependent on the program type), which calls the first ABAP processing block.
    •     The following program types are relevant to application programming:
    Type 1
    •     Type 1 programs have the important characteristic that they do not have to be controlled using user-defined screens. Instead, they are controlled by the runtime environment, which calls a series of processing blocks (and selection screens and lists where necessary) in a fixed sequence. User actions on screens can then trigger further processing blocks.
    Type M
    •     The most important technical attribute of a type M program is that it can only be controlled using screen flow logic and run via a transaction code which is linked to the program and one of its screens (initial screen).
    •     ABAP programs with type M contain the dialog modules belonging to the various screens. They are therefore known as module pools.
    Type F
    •     Type F programs are containers for function modules, and cannot be started using a transaction code or by entering their name directly.
    •     Type F programs are known as function groups. Function modules may only be programmed in function groups. The Function Builder is a tool in the ABAP Workbench that is used to create function groups and function modules. Apart from function modules, function groups can contain global data declarations and subroutines. These are visible to all function modules in the group. They can also contain event blocks for screens in function modules.
    Type K
    •     Type K programs are containers for global classes in ABAP Objects. Type K programs are known as class definitions. The Class Builder is a tool in the ABAP Workbench that can be used to create class definitions.     
    Type J
    •     Type J programs are containers for global interface in ABAP Objects. Type J programs are known as interface definitions and are created in the Class Builder.
    Type I
    •     Type I programs - called includes - are a means of dividing up program code into smaller, more manageable units. The coding of an include program can be inserted at any point in another ABAP program using the INCLUDE statement. There is no technical relationship between include programs and processing blocks. Includes are more suitable for logical programming units, such as data declarations, or sets of similar processing blocks. The ABAP Workbench has a mechanism for automatically dividing up module pools and function groups into include programs.
    4.2     Status
    P = SAP standard production program
    K = Customer production program
    S = System program
    T = Test program
    Application
    •     Categorize the program according to the purpose it fulfills.
    4.3     Authority Check
    Authority checks will be carried out as given in the respective FRS’s.
    4.4     Program Structure
    ABAP programs are responsible for data processing within the individual dialog steps (ie. events) of an application program. This means that the program cannot be constructed as a single sequential unit, but must be divided into sections that can be assigned to the individual dialog steps. To meet this requirement, ABAP programs should have a modular structure. Each module is called a processing block. A processing block consists of a set of ABAP statements. When a program is run, effectively a series of processing blocks is called. Therefore, they should not be nested but modularized.
    •     Each ABAP program consists of the following two parts:
    4.4.1     Declaration data for global data, classes and selection screens
    •     The first part of an ABAP program is the declaration part for global data, classes, and selection screens. This consists of:
    •     All declaration statements for global data. Global data is visible in all internal  processing   blocks and should be defined using declarative statements that appear before the first processing block, in dialog modules, or in event blocks. Local data should not be declared in dialog modules or event blocks.
    •     All selection screen definitions.
    •     All local class definitions (CLASS DEFINITION statement). Local classes are part of ABAP Objects, the object-oriented extension of ABAP.
    •     Declaration statements which occur in procedures (methods, subroutines, function modules) form the declaration part for local data in those processing blocks. This data is only visible within the procedure in which it is declared.
    4.4.2     Container for Processing Blocks
    •     The second part of an ABAP program contains all of the processing blocks for the program. The following types of processing blocks are allowed:
    1.     Dialog modules (no local data area)
    2.     Event blocks (no local data area)
    3.     Procedures (methods, subroutines and function modules with their own local data area).
    •     Whereas dialog modules and procedures are enclosed in the ABAP keywords which define them, event blocks are introduced with event keywords and concluded implicitly by the beginning of the next processing block.
    •     All ABAP statements (except declarative statements in the declaration part of the program) are part of a processing block. Non-declarative ABAP statements, which occur between the declaration of global data and a processing block are automatically assigned to the START-OF-SELECTION processing block.
    4.4.3     Calling Processing Blocks
    •     Processing blocks can be called from either the ABAP program or using ABAP commands which are themselves part of a processing block. Dialog modules and event blocks are called from outside the ABAP program. Procedures are called using ABAP statements in ABAP programs.
    •     Calling event blocks is different from calling other processing blocks for the following reasons:
    •     An event block call is triggered by an event. User actions on selection screens and lists, and the runtime environment trigger events that can be processed in ABAP programs. Define event blocks for the events that the program needs to react to (whereas a subroutine call, for example, must have a corresponding subroutine). This ensures that while an ABAP program may react to a particular event, it is not forced to do so.
    4.5     Screen Flow Logic (Dialog Programs)
    4.5.1     Place the AT EXIT COMMAND at the beginning of the flow logic.
    Example:
    PROCESS AFTER INPUT
       MODULE EXIT_1170 AT EXIT-COMMAND.
       MODULE PAINT_1170.
    4.5.2     Use FIELD and CHAIN statements to keep fields in error open for correction.
    Example:
       PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
       MODULE EXIT_1170 AT EXIT-COMMAND.
       CHAIN.
          FIELD BTCH1170-JOBNAME.
          FIELD BTCH1170-USERNAME.
          FIELD BTCH1170-FROM_DATE.
          FIELD BTCH1170-FROM_TIME.
          MODULE PAINT_1170.
       ENDCHAIN.
    4.6     Main Program
    4.6.1     Events
    The Program MUST NOT be coded without the use of Proper Coding blocks
    •     Initializations
    •     Top-of-page during line-selection
    •     At Selection-Screen
    •     At Line-Selection
    •     At User-Command
    •     At Pfn
    •     Start-Of-Selection
    •     Top-Of-Page
    •     Get
    •     End-Of-Page
    •     End-Of-Selection
    NOTE: The coding for each event should be logically split into forms (subroutines). That is to say, each event will comprise mostly of ‘PERFORM’ statements.
    5.     General Coding Standards
    5.1     One command per line
    Each ABAP/4 command consists of a sentence ending with a period. Multiple commands can be on one line; however, as a standard start each new command on a new line. This will allow for easier deleting, commenting, and debugging.
    5.2     Indented Source Code
    The ABAP/4 editor has a "Pretty Printer" command to indent by 2 positions specific lines of code and add subroutine comments. Event keywords are typically not indented.
    5.3     Extended Syntax Check
    Extended Program Check (EPC) to be done on each object to make sure the code is Syntactically correct. There should be no Error/warning messages in the code.
    5.4     Reusability and Modularity
    If a block of code is executed more than once, it should be placed in a subroutine at the bottom of the code. This makes the code more readable, requires less indentation, and is easier to debug since the debugger can jump through an entire subroutine via a PF key. Also, when possible parameters should be passed to and from subroutines to make the purpose easier to understand and reduce the need for global variables. Always document the purpose of each parameter.
    5.5     Text Handling
    Text elements must be used to display any text messages.
    5.6     Usage of System Variables
    The system variables should be used wherever possible. The SY-SUBRC is to be checked after any function call, selection operation, etc.
    5.7     Chaining Statements
    •     Consecutive sentences with an identical beginning shall be combined into a chained statement.
    Example:
    Instead of the statements
    MOVE SY-MANDT TO D00001-MANDT.
    MOVE SY-LANGU TO D00001-SPRAS.
    A chained statement shall be used
    MOVE:
                 SY-MANDT TO D00001-MANDT,
                 SY-LANGU TO D00001-SPRAS,
                 SY-UNAME TO D00001-BNAME.
    5.8     Common Routines
    •     Standard sub-routines should be implemented as FUNCTION's rather than a FORM (ie. SUBROUTINE). A FUNCTION is easier to maintain and can be easily tested without a calling program. Standard SAP function modules are also available and the function library should be used to check if function modules already exist for a function that needs to be performed i.e.POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_LOSS_OF_DATA etc.
    •     Includes can also be created for re-usable or common code e.g. common data declaration statements.
    5.9     Dialog Messages
    Dialogue messages are stored in table T100. Programmers shall check to see if an appropriate message exists before adding a new message. Programs shall use the message-id which corresponds to the SAP module that the program most relates to.
    5.10     Function Keys
    PF-keys should be programmed to execute functions where required. SAP Standard function keys should be used where appropriate. The most commonly used buttons should be displayed as pushbuttons in the application toolbar.
    5.11     Enqueuing and Dequeuing Data Objects
    •     All database objects being processed by a program, for purposes other than for display, shall be enqueued before such processing is executed. If the enqueue is unsuccessful, then a message shall be returned stating why the enqueue was unsuccessful.
    •     Enqueue and Dequeue objects should be created via the data dictionary.
    5.12     Error Handling (SY-SUBRC)
    •     Return codes shall always be checked immediately after an event which returns a code.  
    Eg. Function calls, Select statements, Updates etc.
    •     The value of SY-SUBRC is 0 when successful and generally produces a value of 4 when unsuccessful (there are a few exceptions).
    Therefore, rather check SY-SUBRC with:
               IF SY-SUBRC <> 0
    than with
             IF SY-SUBRC = 4  (which is redundant and makes the system do a double check)
    •     Error messages displayed to the user must be clear and descriptive.
    •     Remember to group related / dependant steps together and to Rollback all changes for steps in that group should any one of them fail, thus maintaining the integrity of the system.
    •     Check whether an Error Log, (file), must be produced by your program and if so check on the format of the file.
    •     If any Error Logging is done to a custom table in the database then make sure this table is maintained and monitored correctly. (Dev. Note)
    •     Transaction SE91 provides the facility to create and utilize messages in their appropriate message class. Elaborate on the message if necessary, using the long text documentation for that message number.
    5.13     General Conventions and Hints
    •     There should be NO hard coding of values in programs – easy maintainability
    •     For amounts, use the CURRENCY command in write statements to automatically convert fields into their correct decimal format. The currency specified in the write statement is treated as a key for the table TCURX. If no entry exists for the currency specified, the system assumes two decimal places.
    •     For quantities, use the UNIT command in write statements to automatically convert fields into their correct decimal format. The contents of the unit specified are used on table T006. If no entry exists for the unit specified, the formatting has no effect.
    •     Use the ‘LIKE’ statement as often as possible to declare ‘DATA’ variables instead of an explicit ‘TYPE’ declarations.
    •     Try to use the ‘INCLUDE’ statement with standard SAP structures and tables for your structures and internal tables where possible.  If you use the include statement to include other program components in your code then document what those components are, what they do and how to use them.
    •     Try to make use of standard SAP Function Modules wherever possible rather than building your own. Use the pull down functionality in transaction SE37 to find suitable standard function modules.
    •     Make use of the SAP PATTERN tool to automatically insert the standard code for:
    •     CALL FUNCTION
    •     MESSAGE ID
    •     SELECT*FROM
    •     PERFORM
    •     AUTHORITY-CHECK
    •     WRITE
    •     CASE
    •     CALL DIALOG
    •     The standard date format to use is ‘DD/MM/YYYY’. (Dev. Note)
    The standard time format to use is ‘HH:MM:SS’.
    5.14     Parameters in Sub-Routines
    Naming convention for Parameters in subroutine is P_
    6.     Performance Standards
    6.1     General Tips on Performance Tuning
    6.1.1     Avoid Redundant code
    Avoid leaving "dead" code in the program. Comment out variables that are not referenced and code that is not executed. To analyze the program, use the Program Analysis function in SE38 -> Utilities -> Program Analysis.
    6.1.2     Subroutine Usage
    For good modularization, the decision of whether or not to execute a subroutine should be made before the subroutine is called.
    Example:
    IF f1 NE 0.
      PERFORM sub1.
    ENDIF.
    FORM sub1.
    ENDFORM.
    6.1.3     Case vs. Nested IF
    When testing fields "equal to" something, one can use either the nested IF or the CASE statement. The CASE is better for two reasons. It is easier to read and after about five nested IFs the performance of the CASE is more efficient.
    6.1.4     Using the MOVE Statement
    When records a and b have the exact same structure, it is more efficient to MOVE a TO b than to MOVE-CORRESPONDING a TO b.
    6.1.5     SELECT Queries
    The performance of  any ABAP program mainly depends on the ABAP Queries used in it. More optimum the queries , better the performance. Take care of the points mentioned nin the following sections while writing any ABAP queries.
    6.1.5.1     Using all the keys in SELECT statement
    When using the SELECT statement, study the key and always provide as much of the left-most part of the key as possible. The SELECT * command is to be avoided everywhere.
    6.1.5.2     Fetching Single Record
    If the entire key can be qualified, code a SELECT SINGLE not just a SELECT. If all the keys are not available, we should use SELECT UPTO 1 ROWS if we are interested only in the first record.
    6.1.5.3     Avoid SELECT-ENDSELECT
    Selecting data into an internal table using an array fetch versus a SELECT-ENDELECT loop will give at least a 2x performance improvement.  After the data has been put into the internal data, then row-level processing can be done.  
    Example:
    select ... from table <..>
               into <itab>
               where ...
    loop at <itab>
      <do the row-level processing here>
    endloop.
    6.1.5.4     Using Indexs
    Use indexes wherever possible. Tune the Query so that optimum Indexing will happen.
    6.1.5.5     Provide all the keys
    Give as many keys as possible in the WHERE clause to optimize the database fetching. Use the Index fields in the first position to optimize performance.
    6.1.5.6     Avoid “INTO CORRESPONDING”
    Avoid using INTO CORESPONDING FIELDS of Table. Instead, explicitly mention the fields. Else, The Table Fields should be in the same sequence as the selection
    6.1.5.7     SELECT statement inside LOOP
    Do not write SELECT statements inside the loop. Instead, use the FOR ALL ENTRIES Command
    Before using FOR ALL ENTRIES command, check that the
    1.     Corresponding Internal table is not empty. If the Internal table is empty, the statement will select ALL the entries in the Database
    2.     The Internal table is sorted by the Filed used in the Where Clause: This makes selection faster
    6.1.5.8     Nested SELECT statement
    Avoid Using nested SELECT statements. Instead, make use of different internal tables to fetch the data, and Use Nested LOOPS to read them.
    6.1.5.9     Select Distinct
    Whenever its possible avoid SELECT DISTINCT, instead select data into internal table, sort and use DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES
    6.1.5.10     Use of OR in Where Clause
    Do not use OR when selecting data from DB table using an index because The optimizer generally stops if the WHERE condition contains an OR expression.
    e.g.
    Instead of
         SELECT * FROM spfli WHERE carrid = ‘LH’
                                   AND (cityfrom = ‘FRANKFURT’ OR
                 city from = ‘NEWYORK’)
    Use
         SELECT * FROM spfli WHERE (carrid = ‘LH’ AND cityfrom = ‘FRANKFURT’)
                                      OR (carrid = ‘LH’ AND cityfrom = ‘NEWYORK’).
    6.1.5.11     Order By
    ORDER BY will Bypass buffer. So, performance will decrease. If you want to sort data, it is efficient to SORT them in INTERNAL TABLE rather than using ORDER BY. Only use an ORDER BY in your SELECT if the order matches the index, which should be used.
    6.1.6     Using the READ statement
    When reading a single record in an internal table, the READ TABLE WITH KEY is not a direct READ. The table needs to be sorted by the Key fields and the command READ TABLE WITH KEY BINARY SEARCH is to be used.
    6.1.7     Hashed table
    If the number of entries in the Internal Table is high then use Hashed Table with Keys to access the table.
    6.1.8     Transporting
    With READ or MODIFY Statements use TRANSPORTING
    6.1.9     Using LDB
    In order to improve performance in case of an LDB, individual tables can be excluded from selection. Under the section ‘Table Selection’ in the Documentation of LDB the fields with proper description has been given those fields can be set in the application report at the time of INITIALIZATION or at the START OF SELECTION. This can enhance the performance.
    6.1.10     Append Lines of
    Whenever it is possible use APPEND LINES OF to append the internal Tables instead of using loop and then APPEND Statement.
    6.1.11     Use WHILE
    Use WHILE instead of a DO+EXIT-construction, as WHILE is easier to understand and faster to execute
    6.1.12     DELETE <itab> WHERE
    Use DELETE <itab> WHERE…for deleting records from an internal table.
    e.g.
    Instead of
    LOOP AT <itab> WHERE <field> = ‘0001’
         DELETE <itab>.
    ENDLOOP.
    Use
    DELETE <itab>  WHERE <field> = ‘0001’.
    6.1.13     Using WHERE clause in LOOP…….ENDLOOP
    Use:
    Sort ITAB by NAME.
    Loop at itab where name EQ SY-UNAME
    Endloop.
    Instead Of:
    Read itab with key name = SY-UNAME.
    L_tabix = sy-tabix.
    Loop at itab from l_tabix.
    If name eq ‘bijoy’
    Endif.
    Endloop.

  • Database parameter in an ABAP program

    Hi Everyone,
    Can you tell me if we can set a DB parameter like the one below:
    ALTER SESSION SET "_B_TREE_BITMAP_PLANS" = FALSE
    in an ABAP program?
    if yes then do let me know.
    Regards,
    Sugopa

    Hi,
    Looks like you cannot use this statement at ABAP Program level but at OS Level only

  • Submit data to an ABAP program from an offline form

    Hello Forms experts,
    the requirement goes like this: I have an internal table that will be passed to the form (via interface context) in the form the data will be changed by the user and the changes must be reflected in the internal table.-
    I have to send back data from a table which data is modified inside a PDF form and send it back to an ABAP program for further process.
    So far my development goes like this
    - I have an ABAP program where I defined an internal table with the data to fill the table in the pdf form.
    - I created an Interface that has one Import parameter (other than docparams) defined as the internal table that will have the data passed from this program to the form. this context interface object is bound to the form context and is put into the form layout by dragging and dropping from the data view. so the binding are done correctly.
    - In my program I called the Function module that generates the form by using this function
        CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
            EXPORTING i_name = 'my_form_name'
           IMPORTING e_function_name = lv_function_name ....
    this gives me the name of the function module associated to the form name I am passing by.
    - I call the function module gave by the previous call
        CALL FUNCTION lv_function_name
            EXPORTING /1bcdwb/docparams = docparams
                               /1bcdwb/itable = itable
            IMPORTING
                              /1bcdwb/formoutput = formoutput
    this will raise the pdf file preview where I can modify the data of some fields (not every field, due to key contrainst)
    Now I have a problem, because in one hand the forums I read all talks about the Web Service using but to do it, I have to bind each table field to a field in the web service, loosing the bind from the internal table.
    does the IMPORTING part in the CALL FUNCTION lv_function_name can have another parameter for the modified data in the form table so in my program i can get this object and continue working with the internal table ??
    any suggestion, question, observation or comment is welcome.
    in advance, thanks a lot.
    EDIT:
    Workaround:
    download the pdf file into local computer. upload the file into the system and get the data from that pdf to update the data in the internal table... is that possible??
    other option: Is there any chance to get the context attribute that represents the table from the interface context to the function module that called this form at the first place?

  • 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.
      call function 'WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT'
           exporting
                report_name = 'z_program_name'
           tables
                html        = html
                listobject  = listobject.
      clear output_str.
      loop at html into html_wa.
        concatenate output_str html_wa into output_str.
      endloop.
    layout code:
    <htmlb:content design="design2003">
    <htmlb:page title = " ">
    <htmlb:form>
    <%= output_str %>
    </htmlb:form>
    </htmlb:page>
    </htmlb:content>
    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!

  • Reg: An ABAP program has to run two SAP Queries via BG to Appl. server

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to develop an ABAP program to be able to run the two Z Queries respectively and be able to download to the file to the application server via background.
        The selection is based on the Query Name, Usergroup and plant.How do we capture the data from the Queries and send it to the application server? Submit Statement is not working. There is a FM: RSAQ_REPORT_NAME from which we get the Query program name when Qery name and User group is given as an input.Through the above FM I have got the Query program name and used Submit statement with List_options to capture the Internal table data of that Query. As the Query program is dynamically generated and not available in TSTC, the Submit is not Working. Kindly suggest me is there any other approach to do it.
      Please provide me the solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    Please refer to thread [Authorization Error|WDA adobe error] where various solution to the problem specified by you are described.

  • How-to trigger an ABAP program after a user logs on?

    Does anybody know if it is possible to trigger an ABAP program just after a users logs into the system?
    Thanks
    Ioan

    The function module is EXIT_SAPLSUSF_001.  The include program is ZXUSRU01. 
    Just put your SUBMIT statement in this include program.
