How to perform subroutine form in an include program?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I would like to perform an external subroutine form residing in an include program from a customer function user exit. I tried using the following code, but it dumps:

PERFORM <form name> IN PROGRAM (lv_program)

TABLES <a> <b> USING <c>.

In the dump analysis I see that "Program <include name> is type I and therefore cannot be generated" and "The current ABAP/4 program attempts to call the program <include name> but this program cannot be executed. Therefore,the current program had to be terminated. "

If the include can't be generated, is there another way or method I could directly call the form without needing to copy the standard code to an own function or form?

Best regards,

Mikko

Hi,

include <name_of_the_include>.

perform <name_of_the_form>.

(simple way is the better way )

Hi

You have to insert that include in a program, so or you convert the include in a program or you create a program where you'll insert it.

Hello Mikko,

U need to provide with the main program name instead of include then it wil not give a dump or error. Find the main program name and use it.

Hi Abhijit,

thanks for the tip. I checked the where used list of the include program but couldn't unfortunately find any references of this include (LHRWPC_TO_REMOTEF01).

Others, the inclusion of the include in my code doesn't work because I'm working inside a user exit. Putting in the include form makes the system give an error to place the inclusion after the function module (which is a modification then).

Any more tips?

ps. You were the first to give the correct answer so 10p for you

have u included the include in the program

[hymavathi_oruganti]

PERFORM <form name> IN PROGRAM (lv_program)

TABLES <a> <b> USING <c>.

lv_program should be program name but not include name.

give the program name

or include that include in the current program

Hi,

take this example..

     perform idoc_status_record_write in program sapmsed7 using
                                                x_edidc-docnum
                                                c_idoc_status_ready
                                                space
                                                space
                                                space
                                                space
                                                space
                                                space.

in this the from is in include, but while calling you need to call with the help of main program.

in this case <b>SAPMSED7</b> main program, but form is in include <b>MSED7F05</b>

Hi mikko,

1. what i understood is that :

2. customer exi

--> an FM

-

---

> an include

-

---

FORM subroutine (inside the include)

3. in such case, how can we write

FORM subroutine inside the include of the customer exit FM ?

BCOS it will give error.

Incorrect nesting: Before the statement "FORM", the structure introduced by "FUNCTION" must be concluded by "ENDFUNCTION" . . . . . .

Yes, that's exactly why I can't put the form simply as an include inside the customer exit. I would need to find some way of calling the existing external form (before copying the code to a custom fm or other..)

[Former Member]

Yes, it works now! How did you find this, by guessing?

-Mikko

[former_member188685]

hi,

<b>SAPLHRWPC_TO_REMOTE</b> is the main program of include, this is function pool of the function module.

Ah yes..found it now, too..(blush blush)

I tried getting the where used list by clicking on the include header label field while I should have clicked the button on the row beginning with "***INCLUDE LHRWPC_TO_REMOTEF01".

Thanks again!
