job open synchronous

[Valeck]

hi guru,

i need to launch a program by this formula:

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Report ZTEST_VA
*&
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*&
*&
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
REPORT ztest_va.


DATA: number TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount,
name TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'JOB_TEST',
print_parameters TYPE pri_params.



CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
jobname = name
IMPORTING
jobcount = number
EXCEPTIONS
cant_create_job = 1
invalid_job_data = 2
jobname_missing = 3
OTHERS = 4.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
SUBMIT zsubmitable TO SAP-SPOOL
SPOOL PARAMETERS print_parameters
WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
VIA JOB name NUMBER number
AND RETURN.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
EXPORTING
jobcount = number
jobname = name
strtimmed = 'X'
EXCEPTIONS
cant_start_immediate = 1
invalid_startdate = 2
jobname_missing = 3
job_close_failed = 4
job_nosteps = 5
job_notex = 6
lock_failed = 7
OTHERS = 8.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
...
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

is it possible to take the response of the program launched zsubmitable synchronously in the program that launches the job?

Could clarify your requierment ?

There are options to get the results of RFC enabled FM, but not for reports submitted in the background.

Either

• Convert to an RFC enabled FM
• Or keep the submit program, modify your report so that it exports its result to a data cluster. Add a loop in the caller's program to wait for the job to finish and read the result into the dataset.

1. A background job runs asynchronously, so you must wait for its end.
2. If you want to run synchronously, don't run the program as a background job.
3. You may also trigger code within the background job after the submitted program has run (but the program which submitted the job lives independently, see point 1).

Please clarify your requirement if you need further help.
