can I retrieve a job name inside of a running program?

1091 Views

We have a function that sends an email with a program name and message if the program encounters an error. This program can be run in batch mode by a job or in the foreground through SE38 or SE80.

If the program was executed as a step in a job is there a system field that contains the job name so that we can have this information in the email as well?

Example:

Job u2013 SCHEDULED_JOB

Step 1 u2013 Z_ABAP_PROGRAM

When Z_ABAP_PROGRAM is running SY-REPID contains Z_ABAP_PROGRAM.

From within Z_ABAP_PROGRAM is there any way to see job SCHEDULED_JOB

Looking in the dictionary and debugging a runnign job the SYST table does not appear to have this information.
