Former Member — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 09:58:40 GMT

Hi all,

I have a requirement of background processing of a program which is called from another program.

Requirement : during execution of Program A, Program B is Submitted to run in background with two field values from Program A.

Is it possible ? I am able to explore it. Please help.

Hi,

Your options are very different depending on if program B is a SAP standard program or a customer program.

If you can change program B add the fields as parameters of the program and pass them using SUBMIT.

Regards,

Nick
