Wait for event conundrum

[David Weston]

Thanks Jocelyn for that, now I have another issue with this as I am getting
the runtime error
on the 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE_IN_UPD_TASK' with the start_with_delay option set
with
the IN UPDATE TASK addition.
 
I am now getting an ABAP short dump with the error POSTING_ILLEGAL_STATEMENT
with
a statement "Submit" is not allowed in this form !!.
 
Think its time for an OSS message !!
 
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,
You appear to be missing the IN UPDATE TASK extension
in your call function statement. That is, your statement should
read:
>
>     call function 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE_IN_UPD_TASK'
          IN UPDATE TASK
>
>         EXPORTING
>
>             objtype = 'PDOTYPE_O'
>
>             objkey = my_objkey
>
>             event = 'RESPONSIBILITY'
>
>             creator = l_event_creator
>
>             start_with_delay = 'X'
>
>         TABLES
>
>             EVENT_CONTAINER = event_container.

You do need a COMMIT WORK after the call to start the update task.
Once the update task is started you should be able to see if the
function module has run yet in transaction SM13.
 
Having COMMIT WORK after any event creation is important due to the
way events are started (all to do with logical units of work,
etc. etc. - but just remember you need a commit work somewhere
after the call - either you code it yourself or you use the one already
provided in SAP programs - be careful as if you are raising your
event in user-exits or similar you must use the SAP provided commit
in the main program).
 
It's difficult to tell what your real problem is, but at least this
way you should be able to see if anything is going wrong and if the
function module is being run at all by using transaction SM13.
 
Hope that helps.

I don4t know if you have tried with another function
module but I think that There is any function more
that it trgger a event. You could to search in
function library by *EVENT*CREATE* or *CREATE*EVENT*
