Regarding background job

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

My requirement is to creat a BDC program for transaction CJS2.

At the time of excel file upload I am using FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'.

Its working fine in fore ground but when using as a background job its showing error 'Error during import of clipboard content'.

I searched in Google and got that we can't use this function module for background job.

So please suggest me which one is the correct function module to upload file in background job

as I know 'GUI_UPload' will not work for that.

Any suggestion will be helpful.

You can't load Excel files in the background. Remember, Excel is a Windows product - i.e. on the desktop/laptop.

For background processing, save the file as a text file with delimiters (e.g commas or tabs.) The program will read the records and then to a SPLIT BY for the delimiter expected.
