Hi,

Your Program need to do all these things, you need to write the code like, it should allow the records from 15th of last month to 14th of this month ....

This program you can schedule on 17th using SM36 Transaction code .......

You can code in the <b>initialization</b> event to take START DATE and END DATE as required.

So, if you run this prg anytime, it will take 15th of last month as START DATE and 14th of current month as END DATE by <b>DEFAULT</b>.

Hi Luís,

You can create two new TVARVC variables(Entries in TVARVC table) and write an ABAP program to update these variables with the required dates(This can be scheduled as a step ahead of the current program)

Assign the TVARVC variables to the select fields via the selection variables option while creating the variant that is used to run the program in Back ground

Thanks,
