what is /PBS/CFIFREAD

[Former Member]

Hi ,

Please help me understand what is /PBS/CFIFREAD.

Subroutine pool  /PBS/CFIFREAD .

I checked in google for the term /PBS/CFIFREAD and i found this link .

http://www.pbs-software.de/medien/handbuecher/e_cfi_user.pdf

But i didnt find it relevant.

I have a subroutine in my program that is like this.

PERFORM fetch_zfaw(/pbs/cfifread)

            USING awkey_f

            zfaw zzpat zzban zztbi rc.

what does this do?

Hi Uday,

Thanks for your reply.

i have a report that calls this in a subroutine like this .

PERFORM fetch_zfaw(/pbs/cfifread)

            USING awkey_f

            zfaw zzpat zzban zztbi rc.

And the report comes here upon execution and stays stuck forever.

what cud be the reason?

Please guide.

Surya,

         I cant exactly say what this subroutine is doing. All, I would suggest is to go for debugging.

Place a break point on this subroutine and go for debugging stepwise by pressing F5 function key. You should be able to see complete code of this subroutine.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

It seems its a add on tool for data archiving . The report /PBS/CFIFREAD contains a list of sub routines for archiving data .  So in your report it is assumed that some  archiving functionality is done using the sub routine fetch_zfaw .

Hi Uday and Riyas,

thanks for taking ur time in replying.

Uday like u mentioned, i debugged.

the program eventually gave a TIME_out error.

This is because of the subroutine being inside the DO ..ENDO.

Looks like this is endless..do endo..

000390       READ TABLE t_awkey INDEX 1.

000400       awkey_f = t_awkey-awkey.

000410       READ TABLE t_awkey INDEX l_count.

000420       awkey_t = t_awkey-awkey.

000430     ENDIF.

000440

000450   *

000460     PERFORM set_zfaw(/pbs/cfifread) USING awkey_f rc.

000470

000480   * Initialisierung des Zugriffs

     >     DO .

000500       PERFORM fetch_zfaw(/pbs/cfifread)

000510               USING awkey_f

000520               zfaw zzpat zzban zztbi rc.

000530

000540       IF ( rc LE 4 ).

000550         IF zfaw-awkey > awkey_t.

000560           EXIT.

000570         ENDIF.

000580         READ TABLE t_awkey WITH KEY awkey = zfaw-awkey

000590                                     BINARY SEARCH.

000600         IF sy-subrc <> 0.

000610           CONTINUE.

000620         ENDIF.

000630         CLEAR l_continue.

000640         check_index 'ZFAW-'.

000650         IF l_continue IS NOT INITIAL.

000660           CONTINUE.

000670         ENDIF.

000680

Is there any furthr analysis that i can do to analys the issue?

Regs,

[udaykumar_kanike]

check the parameter value and try to set some if else condition instead of DO.... Enddo. If its a standard program, then I dont think we are supposed to do any changes. Instead try controlling the data that is being passed to this subroutine which is generally by means of parameters.

so try your luck on controlling these parameters values and also wait for more suggestions.

Hi All,

Just want to update reg this issue.

The program execution was getting stuck at this READ into the Archive data becasue there was no data in it.

Later we asked the archive team to add data.

issue fixed.
