    Update functions are triggred by commit work and are executed in update task ( other than dialog task ) . It cannot and should not return a parameter to the calling program as the calling program has no no control on update task . Even if it allows it would have no meaning .

    Cheers

      Hi

      You can call it three times. It will be executed simultaneously ad the data which was there at the time of call will be visible in update task.

      For example

      CALL FUNCTION F1 IN UPDATE TASK

      EXPORTING

      P1 = W1.

      CALL FUNCTION F1 IN UPDATE TASK

      EXPORTING

      P1 = W2.

      CALL FUNCTION F1 IN UPDATE TASK

      EXPORTING

      P1 = W3.

      COMMIT WORK .

      It would execute 3 times in update task in the sequence above . You can even test in debugging - , put a break point on commit work. In debugging mode enable Update debugging in settings tab ( -> SAVE ) . Press F8 , another window of update task will open . Here BREAKPOINT -> AT FUNCTION -> <F1> . You will see that your code stops in the FM 3 times with different parameter values W1/W2/W3 .

      Cheers

      As I said earlier update modules are run in update task and your dialog task has no control over it . Update modules should be used for updating database tables and not for any other purpose. Update modules are created only to bundle all database updates in one. You dialog program / application program does all the necessary validations and passes all the database updates to update module which is triggered at commit work . After this your dialog program has no control on update module , so neither it should return any value to calling program , nor write any list .

      You can use normal FM to write a list . Why are you using update module. Any specific requirement ..

      Cheers
