What type of program is correct for perform routine_1(z_prog)?

[former_member202077]

Hi Experts,

 
1) PERFORM routine_1(in_Z_Prog) using xyz
                    changing my_flag.

%%%%%

2) Report in_z_prog

3) FORM routine_1 using p_xyz
            changing p_my_flag. 

I guess, the REPORT in_z_prog should be EXECUTABLE TYPE program, right (because when I double clicked on 1st statement, system automatically choosen)? or else, as its Function Module/Function Group/Main Prog. so should I choose MODULE POOL prog for this my_program?

Thank you

Executable program.

Also a good idea to call it like this:

PERFORM routine_1(in_Z_Prog) 
            USING    xyz
            CHANGING my_flag
         IF FOUND.

So that it does not short-dump if the routine is not found in the external program.

Cheers,

Thank you for your tip.

But, u know if I double click on that PERFORM name to create it, strangely system is considering IF FOUND is as CHANGING params!! like below

 PERFORM routine_1(in_Z_Prog) 
            USING    xyz
            CHANGING my_flag
         IF FOUND. 

If i double click on routine_1,

 Report in_Z_Prog.
      FORM routine_1
            USING  p_xyz
            CHANGING p_my_flag
                       p_IF 
                       p_FOUND. 

or am doing some thing wrong?

Thank you

Do Not create it by double click.

Simple create a perform in Report in_Z_Prog.

      FORM routine_1
            USING  p_xyz
            CHANGING p_my_flag.

    ENDFORM.

Thank you.

Actually, after double clicking I removed the below 2 params from CHANGING,

p_IF

p_FOUND.

just curious, why system is considering these as params?

Thank you

Hi ,

after double clicking it will never create a subroutine, instead it will open the reference program with the same perform, here there is no need to create a routine, instead we can use the same with out writing the same code again and again...this is the reusability.

Sorry I did not get you!

In my case, both are (in_Z_prog and routine_1) are brabd new.

So, first i double click on in_Z_prog, after assigning transport then i dbl clicked the routine_1, at this point am talking!! system created p_IF and p_FOUND paranms under CHANGING?

Thank you

Hi,

Did you tried giving the Parameters inside the paranthesis () , If not please try it. It should work.

Hi ,

Generally we use the executable program to call an external perform , can you please explain in detail what exactly do you want?

in_z_program can be a Report or Subroutine Pool.
