I have a requirement in an existing production development to log errors. It needs to be done in multiple applications.

I created a table and called it in a method. I am calling an fm as starting new task to commit wok.

This is done to avoid commit work in the actual application. However, in a test program I created I noticed that the system automatically calls commit work instantly when this FM is called.

In the code below, I expect ‘Function Module’ to be committed in the table but it commits both ‘Prog’ and ‘Function Module’. ‘Prog’ is committed instantly when the fm is called and ‘Function Module’ after commit work in the FM.

What other alternatives do I have? I have tried in update, background task, submit program, perform on commit. Nothing worked.
