Question:
Hello Experts,
Can we increase the time limit of a patricular program
when running it in foreground? If yes, How?
Thanks... MTK
Answer:
Im not sure about this but I think that the run time limit is set in a configuration file and applies to all programs and you cant just set it for a particular program. You might ask in the basis forum....

Answer:
You can increase the allowed run time by output data to the GUI for example by using SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR, or by resetting the program time out watch dog timer by calling TH_WPINFO (I think - some one else will probably come up with the right function to call), however....
Would it not be a better idea to analyse the program and determine where the time is going ? An online report that runs until it times out will obviously run a lot longer if you prevent it from timing out and that will lead to some frustrated users.
Have a look in SE38 at UTILITIES->MORE UTILITIES->RUN TIME ANALYSIS. This will tell you what and where the hogs are. You can also use ST05 to analyse long SQL calls. There are other techniques that can be used as well, including getting data from more apprpriate tables such as COEP rather than GLPCA.

Answer:
As a reply to the first answer: yep, you should set parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time in the instance profile of the SAP-instance and than reboot.
But the second answer given by R really says it all.

have you tried 'commit work.' between program steps....not sure about latest versions...but appears to reset the no activity timer.
