Hi,

You need to use JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE function modules after the Basic list.

JOB_OPEN: Create a background job.

JOB_SUBMIT to add a job step to a background job that you have opened with JOB_OPEN.

JOB_CLOSE: Submit a background job to the background processing system for execution.

Hi Ramu,

Your seems to be a good case for trying out something I have always wanted to, i.e. once you have selected the records you want to up run BDC for and have the data in an internal table, I suggest you put the code for the BDC run within a function module (passing the internal table through the tables parameter) and then call the function module as so:

CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK

[DESTINATION dest]

parameter_list

[AS SEPARATE UNIT].

I am not 100% sure about how it goes, however should be worth a try. Also this would go a long way in ensuring modularization of your program.

Please let me know if you try it and how it goes.

Regards,

Aditya
