SUBMIT report via job and don't show selection-screen

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to submit a report via job, but the problem is that the report has a selection screen which I can't skip.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 100.

PARAMETERS:

<p_par>  TYPE <type>.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 100.

I can't change this report.

I am able to pass the parameter via an rsparams table, but the selection screen is blocking the job.

This is how I submit the job:

          SUBMIT <prog> AND RETURN

            WITH  SELECTION-TABLE lt_job_parameters

            VIA JOB lv_job_name

            NUMBER lv_jobcount.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

I don't understand, you submit the program in a background job. What happens exactly?

[Former Member]

The job is blocked when it reaches the statement

CALL SELECTION-SCREEN 100.

Instead by submitting with selection-table can you try with option submit <Prog> with <p_par> = <p_par>.

Same as before, the job is blocked when it reaches

CALL SELECTION-SCREEN 100.

For a start, try to add the addition USING SELECTION-SCREEN 100 to your SUBMIT statement.

Tried it, didn't work 😕

[horst_keller]

Yep, the problem is, that there is a CALL SELECTION-SCREEN 100 in the called program.

While the "start" selection screen is closed automatically after been filled in batch processing, a selection screen called with CALL SELECTION-SCREEN  must be closed explicitly.

I'll check if I can find how to do that ...

Why do you have a CALL SELECTION-SCREEN in the submitted program? I's no sense in a background job. You must re-design your program.

Problem is that I am only consuming the report, I can't change it.

Is there no way around this?

[horst_keller]

Unfortunately no.

A CALL SELECTION-SCREEN in the submitted program is like a CALL SCREEN. You cannot handle it using SUBMIT.

[Former Member]

As far as I know, calling a selection-screen manually (CALL SELECTION-SCREEN) acts exactly like a standard screen.

It sounds like only batch input will help you in such case.

[Former Member]

How do I use batch input?

[horst_keller]

CALL TRANSACTION USING

You must connect a transaction code to the program. Call the transaction with a BDC table in a report and submit that via job.

Thanks, I will have to see an alternative then.
