Dear All,

I want to schedule 1 programs with one background job.

My requirement is like this:

My job always runs after every minute.

If first time, my job is not yet finished, i dont want to start my job again(same job) until the first one gets completed.How do i keep track of this scenario and how to schedule this?

Kindly let me know if this is possible.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Gupta,

You uhave write a program for this.

In Table TBTCO

check the column "status" by JOBname

STATUS = 'F' --- Finished.

STATUS = 'A' --- Cancelled.

STATUS = 'R' --- Active.

If tbtco-status = 'F'.------finished

Use the FM to schedule the job.

'JOB_OPEN'.

SUBMIT abaphtml_maintain USER sy-uname

WITH go eq 'X'

VIA JOB 'ABAPHTML_MAINTAIN' NUMBER n

AND RETURN.

'JOB_CLOSE'.

Endif.

Don't forget to reward if useful.

Hello,

You can schedule the job using the transaction SM36 . You have a wizard which will take you through all the steps for the creation of a job.
