Syntax

... { {[MODE mode] [UPDATE upd]}
    | [OPTIONS FROM opt] }
    [MESSAGES INTO itab] ... .

Extras:

1. ... MODE mode

2. ... UPDATE upd

3. ... OPTIONS FROM opt

4. ... MESSAGES INTO itab

Effect

Control of batch input processing with the USING addition.

Addition 1

... MODE mode

Effect

The MODE addition determines the processing mode for batch input processing. Asmode, you can specify a character-type data object. Its possible content and effect is displayed in the following table. Without use of one of the additionsMODE orOPTIONS FROM, the effect is the same as ifmode had the content "A".

modeEffect"A"Processing with display of screens"E"Display of screens only if an error occurs"N"Processing without display of screens. If a breakpoint is reached in one of the calledtransactions, processing is terminated with sy-subrc same as 1001. The fieldsy-msgty contains "S",sy-msgid contains "00",sy-msgno contains "344",sy-msgv1 contains "SAPMSSY3", andsy-msgv2 contains "0131"."P"Processing without display of the screens. If a breakpoint is reached in one of the called transactions, the system branches to the ABAP Debugger.OthersLike "A". 

Addition 2

... UPDATE upd

Effect

The UPDATE addition determines the processing mode for batch input processing. You can specify a character-type object forupd. Its possible content and its effect are displayed in the following table. Without use of one of the additionsUPDATE orOPTIONS FROM, the effect is the same as ifupd had the content "A".

updEffect"A"Asynchronous update.Updates of called programs are executed in the same way as if in theCOMMIT WORK statement theAND WAIT addition was not specified."S"Synchronous processing. Updates of the called programs are executed in the same way as if in theCOMMIT WORK statement theAND WAIT addition had been specified."L"Local update. Updates of the called program are executed in such a way as if theSET UPDATE TASK LOCAL statement had been executed in it.OtherAs for "A". 

Note

This option is not available for execution of actual batch input sessions. There the update is always synchronous.

Addition 3

... OPTIONS FROM opt

Effect

The OPTIONS addition covers the functions of theMODE andUPDATE additions. It provides further options for controlling batch input processing. The control parameters are specified in anopt structure of the type CTU_PARAMS from the ABAP Dictionary. The CTU_PARAMS structure has the components displayed in the following table:

ComponentMeaningDISMODEProcessing mode for batch input processing. Values as for theMODE addition.UPMODEProcessing mode for batch input processing. Values as for theUPDATE addition.CATTMODECATT mode for batch input processing. CATT means Computer Aided Testtool. While batch input is mostly used for data transfer, CATT processes are to be viewed as more complextransactions, since they are reusable tests. Values: " " (no CATT mode), "N" (CATT without single screen control), "A" (CATT with single screen control).DEFSIZESelection as to whether the screens of the called transaction are displayed in the standard screen size. Values "X" (standard size), " " (current size).RACOMMITSelection as to whether the COMMIT WORK statement terminates batch input processing or not. Values: " " (COMMIT WORK terminates processing), "X" ( COMMIT WORK does not terminate processing).NOBINPTSelection for the symbol field sy-binpt. Values: " " (sy-binpt contains in the called transaction "X"), "X" (sy-binpt contains in the called transaction " ").NOBIENDSelection for the system field sy-binpt. Values: " " (sy-binpt contains "X" after the end of the batch input data in the called transsaction ) "X" (sy-binpt contains " " after the end of the batch input data in the called transaction). 

Without use of the OPTIONS FROM addition,the values set by the additionsMODE orUPDATE or the standard values specified there apply to DISMODE and UPMODE"A". The other components are set to the value " ".

Addition 4

... MESSAGES INTO itab

Effect

Using this addition, all the messages sent during batch input processing are stored in an internal tableitab of the type BDCMSGCOLL from the ABAP Dictionary.
