Check for the system field SY-BATCH. IF it is set to 'X" then it means program is running in background else foreground.

Hi,

U can put a check like below.

IF-sy-batch EQ space.

"Means for ground.

ELSE.

Means Back ground

ENDIF.

Check below points when u run the program as batch job.

All these cases will cause batch job to fail/cancel.

1. Any thing that makes interaction with front end like using GUI_DOWNLOAD fm, Using OOPS ALV/GRID display with FMS etc.

2. Error/Abort messages will cause failure.

Like this there are many things.

Generally if the program is taking much time we will run in background.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Good

1-No need to do any special coding in your report.

2-You can use the SM36 tcode to assign the background jobs for the report and in SM37 you can see the result, if you want to run the report in hourly basis or days basis.

3-If you want to run the report immediately than you can directly run the report by selecting the run in background option and select the immediately button in top so that it will run immediately and give you the result.

Thanks
