Hi Jyotsna,

You need to use Transaction SM36.

You need to provide a Job Name with which you can track the job later.

Then you need to provide "Start Condition" - Time when you want to schedule this job.

Then you need to to provide the Custom Program name in "Step".

Save the job.

Best Regards,

Ram.

hi,

go to your report, you have a option called execute in background in the menu bar.

the status can be checked in SM36 transaction.

no need of going to SM36 and creating a job.

thanks,

Poonam

Hi,

The transaction code is SM36. The steps are as given below.

1. Give a job name

2. Click on 'Step'. In the resulting screen select the desired button. For example 'ABAP Program'. Give the name of the ABAP program and the variant.

Click on 'Save'.

3. Now click on the 'Start Condition' and select the desired start time. For example 'Immediate'. Press 'Save'.

4. Now you will be in the first screen. Press 'Save' here.

Now the job is scheduled.

Hi jyotsna,

this particular code will just call your program in background... so place it wher u want to call it.. in my case i had to call it at the start of the program itself.. can u tel me what exactly are u trying to do?

if you just want to run your customised program in the backgound at the beginning of your other Z report or something, then place it in the beginning itself with the name supplied after SUBMIT as shown...

tel me if u need some more help ...
