Hi priya,

U r getting this message becuase "The IDoc is currently blocked."the idoc number which u r reading is currently blocked,thats why u r getting this message..Try with other idoc number and check..also check the documentation of the FM "EDI_DOCUMENT_OPEN_FOR_PROCESS"

Hi,

When u r calling the FM "IDOC_STATUS_WRITE_TO_DATABASE", program internally checks whether the Database is locked or not.

In your case i can see thatLOCK MODE is EXCLUSIVE, and hence u r getting the exception 'idoc_foreign_lock '.

Program is internally trying to LOCK the DB table in EXCLUSIVE mode which is already opened by the <b>other user</b>.unless the other user closes the table u will be able to Lock the table.

Belwo is the code related to ur FM which is triggering the execption :

CASE MODE.

WHEN SHARED.

CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_ES_EDIDOCS'

EXPORTING

DOCNUM = DOCNUM

_SCOPE = '3'

WAIT = WAITOPTION

EXCEPTIONS

FOREIGN_LOCK = 04

others = 08.

WHEN EXCLUSIVE.

CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_ES_EDIDOCE'

EXPORTING

DOCNUM = DOCNUM

_SCOPE = '3'

WAIT = WAITOPTION

EXCEPTIONS

FOREIGN_LOCK = 04

others = 08.

ENDCASE.

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 04.

MESSAGE E061 WITH DOCNUM RAISING DOCUMENT_FOREIGN_LOCK.

elseif sy-subrc eq 08.

message id sy-msgid type 'A' number sy-msgno

with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

revrt back if any issues,

Rewrad if helpful.

hello deva and nagaraj,

it seems i am the one blocking it.

any suggestion?

well i am using the fm JOB OPEN

followed by SUBMIT RFBIBL00. which inspite having a sy-subrc eq 0, no task is being created in the background

then i have used FM JOB_CLOSE followed by fm IDOC_STATUS_WRITE_TO_DATABASE to change the status from 51 to 73

any idea ?
