I want to extract all bkpf's fields into a tab delimited file in the background.
How can we do it?
Thanks in advance

The program is too simple and I do not understand why the site is asking me to add more comments.
OK, if I enable the strtimmed = 'X' in CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE', then the program is creating jobs continuously and I have to kill it through SM50.
If I disable the STRTIMED then it create a job as SCHEDULE. I run it as Immediate and it creates and run a job without creating a file while in foreground the program is working perfect.
So my question is: Is this code OK for SAP ECC6?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The following code could be a solution.
Select your lines from BSEG in 10.000 packages, bring it in csv-format and transfer it into the open file.
DO.
SELECT * FROM bseg UP TO 10000 ROWS
INTO TABLE #DATA(lt_bseg)
WHERE bukrs = '0001'.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
OPEN DATASET filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT lt_bseg INTO DATA(ls_bseg).
DO.
ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE ls_bseg TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<fs_field>).
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
IF line IS INITIAL.
line = <fs_field>.
ELSE.
line = line && ';' && <fs_field>.
ENDIF.
TRANSFER line TO filename.
CLEAR: line.
ENDDO.
ENDLOOP.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET filename.

Answer 2

Finally someone told me what was wrong in my code. I missed a D in WITH p_bckgr = space.
I thought that if it is wrong the SAP will display an error, but this was a wrong thought.
So the correct is WITH p_bkgrd = space.
Thanks all
