Hi,

1) To Schedule the 2 programs in background

you can do it in SM36 which can be used to schedule the program in background, it has options in that to schedule the program to execute( Immediately, on any specific day).

2) in you programs use GUI_DOWNLOAD function module and default the FILEPATH , after executing your programs you will get your data on desktop.

First of all, GUI_DOWNLOAD doesn't work in the background. Second, there is no option to get the output from a standard program into a file, unless the program has been written to do that.

You'll need to write a custom report, which will start both programs, capture their output and store it in a file on the server using OPEN DATASET command, not GUI_DOWNLOAD. Additionally, some programs might provide output in such a way that this won't even be feasible.
