Hi sudhakar,

Can you elaborate more on batch date.

If you are looking for system date it's sy-datum.

Check the MCH1 table if you are referring a BATCH pertaining to the material.

Hi All,

I am running a program in the background mode.

I want the Batch date in which date i have sheduled the program . because i want to sort the material depending upon the batch date . if the batch date is even sort the material by decending and otherwise ascending.

so if the program is sheduled by 11 pm it will take 4 hrs to complete.it will complete next day morning 3am.if i take the sy-datum the date was changed and it will go to next date the sort will go wrong.

How can i identify the Scheduled date is there any system field or any another way ....

Thanks in advance .

Hi Sudhakar,

You can pass jobname to TBTCO-JOBNAME and retrieve TBTCO-STRTDATE and TBTCO-STRTTIME.

This will indicate start date and start time of Job.

(Similary, ENDDATE and ENDTIME will indicate actual end date and end time of the job)

Hi,

SY-DATUM will not change during the run of a program, so even at 2am the next day it will still have the same value it had when the program started.

You might have a problem if your batch job contains multiple steps.

Hope this helps,

Gert.
