ABAPNAME Statement—Specify an ABAP Name

The ABAPNAME statement starts a step definition within the SAP job definition and identifies the ABAP step to be run.

Supported Job Types

This statement is required for the following job types:

This statement is optional for the SAP Process Monitor job type.

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

ABAPNAME ABAPname

ABAPname

Specifies the valid SAP system ABAP name. The ABAP name corresponds to the SAPGUI ABAP program Name field on the Create Step dialog.

Limits: Up to 40 valid SAP characters; case-sensitive

Notes:

Enclose values that contain delimiters (such as spaces) in double quotation marks.
Define multiple ABAPs within a job definition using multiple ABAPNAME statements.
When defining an SAP R/3 job, we recommend that you limit the number of steps (ABAPs) to one per job. If you run a job and one of the ABAPs fails, the job is marked as failed. If the ABAP fails, you cannot re-run the ABAP without re-running the entire job.
