You can do this way.


If sy-ucomm eq 'START'.
  call function JOB_OPEN . " So background job will created
  ..
  ..
  call function SUBMIT_JOB
...
..
  call function JOB_CLOSE
..
..

Then store the job name in a custom table

Then you switch on your PC again


if sy-ucomm eq 'STOP'
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_JOB_ABORT' " with job name from custom table

if possible you will run the program in background mode... in any selection screen give your values and hit F9 to execute in background.

first thing about running at server we call it as background program scheduled... so create a back ground job we use tcode SM36. and SM37 to display it.

and from your program, where you have that start and stop button you can trigger a background job which will start counting

and on press of stop you can close the background job and see the result.

though i think its easy to calculate time by storing it in some ztable when you press start and when you press stop just retrieve that value and calculate the time difference...

case sy-ucomm.
  when 'START'.
     ztable-time = sy-datum.
     insert ztable.
   when 'STOP'.
     select time from ztable up to 1 rows.
           timediff = sy-datum - ztable-time.
           write : timediff.
      endselect.
      delete ztable. "->the database table is free again to start a new time,
endcase.
