Hi,

SUBMIT command is used to call one program from other program. Here if you use RETURN then the control will return to 1st calling program after the execution of the 2nd program.

External Subroutine:

Subroutine that exists in some other program or include which is not related to the current program.

You can call the external subroutine from your program as shown here:

PERFORM abc(XYZ) USING C D CHANGING E. "Here XYZ is the program or include name.
**abc is the subroutine name

Submit is used for call one program from another Program. You can see the second

write : ' something'.

here u can see the output of zexample and zsample output also.

hi

good

You can call executable programs from other ABAP programs using the following statement:

SUBMIT prog|(field) [AND RETURN] [options].

You can either specify the name of the program you want to call statically by entering the program name in the code of the calling program, or dynamically by specifying the name of a field (in parentheses) containing the name of the program. If the system cannot find the specified executable program when trying to execute the SUBMIT statement, a runtime error occurs.

YOu can give a call to the external program using submin prog.

Eg: In your Z program, you give a call to SAP standard program and get some results back.

SUBMIT <External Prog> and return.

The addition AND RETURN starts the executable program in a new internal session. The session for the calling program is retained. Once program access is completed, program execution for the calling program continues after the SUBMIT statement.

pelase reward if useful.

Hi,

There are different types of programs:

Executible programs are called from another program using

Submit <reportname> [and return]

If you omit the AND RETURN addition, all data and list levels of the calling program (the entire internal session) are deleted. After the called executable program has finished, control returns to the level from which you started the calling program.

that is after displaying the results of ur submitted list the system does not execute the calling program anymore..

If you use AND RETURN, the system stores the data of the calling executable program and returns to the calling after processing the called program. The system resumes executing the calling program at the statement following the call.

that is after the list of the submitted report is generated when u press back it takes u to the list display of ur primari program

report try.

submit new." and return.

write 'hi'.

report new.

write 'bye'.

try the above to understand better
