Do you know that you can also call a function module in the background?

Just check the abap help on the statement CALL and the search for: CALL FUNCTION IN BACKGROUND TASK.

Hi,

in SUBMIT TO SAP-SPOOL

you need to pass the DEVICE TYPE.

Pass it as <b>LOCL</b> or if you knw the device type the pass the actual name.

Device type can be listed using transaction SPAD.

Best regards,

Prashant

but im not using the function submit to sap spool. rather im just using the submit command.

SUBMIT zmp

USER sy-uname

VIA JOB w_jobname

NUMBER w_jobcount

AND RETURN.

where zmp is the second prog. rest all other fm job open job close im doing it as you have done. so when i go and check it in sm 37 i find schedule in the statuc of the job. so is that the 2nd prog has been executed in the background?

Yes, you are right. The 2nd program is scheduled & hence the status in SM37.

Wait for few minutes, click on REFRESH & you will find the status changed to COMPLETED.

Then check the spool.
