Hi Chandrasekhar,

my requirement is :

in selection screen there will be two run mode :

1) Run in Foreground

2) Run in Background

If user selects ' Run in Background ' option , a block will open where user can give

job schedule date and

job schedule time.

Based on this date and time program will be scheduled in background.

I have used like this :

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

EXPORTING

jobname = v_jname

SDLSTRTDT = p_date

SDLSTRTTM = p_time

IMPORTING

JOBCOUNT = v_jcnt

EXCEPTIONS

CANT_CREATE_JOB = 1

INVALID_JOB_DATA = 2

JOBNAME_MISSING = 3

OTHERS = 4.

where v_jname is jobname

v_jcnt is jobcount

p_date is schedule date ( taken screen value)

p_time is schedule time ( taken screen value)

but the job is sxcheduling immediately

Give suggestion.

Thanks in advance.
