The SUBMIT ABAP statement is use to execute a report or program from within your ABAP code.
For example from within an ALV output report a user may be able to click
on a button or press a specific key. This action could then execute a second report to display further details or
perform some additional functionality. Please note you can only execute reports of type '1' (i.e. executable).
*Code used to execute a report SUBMIT Zreport.
*Code used to populate 'select-options' & execute report DATA: seltab type table of rsparams, seltab_wa like line of seltab. seltab_wa-selname = 'PNPPERNR'. seltab_wa-sign = 'I'. seltab_wa-option = 'EQ'. * load each personnel number accessed from the structure into * parameters to be used in the report loop at pnppernr. seltab_wa-low = pnppernr-low. append seltab_wa to seltab. endloop. SUBMIT zreport with selection-table seltab via selection-screen.
*Code used to populate 'parameters' & execute report SUBMIT zreport with p_param1 = 'value' with p_param2 = 'value'.
*Submit report and return to current program afterwards SUBMIT zreport AND RETURN. *Submit report via its own selection screen SUBMIT zreport VIA SELECTION-SCREEN. *Submit report using selection screen variant SUBMIT zreport USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1'. *Submit report but export resultant list to memory, rather than *it being displayed on screen SUBMIT zreport EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY. * Once report has finished and control has returned to calling * program, use function modules LIST_FROM_MEMORY, WRITE_LIST and * DISPLAY_LIST to retrieve and display report. *Example Code (Retrieving list from memory) DATA BEGIN OF itab_list OCCURS 0.
