Hello mohammed-mas,

The background job is running a program which you have already with you. If you can understand the ABAP language then go to SE38 and enter your program name and click on display button to read the functionality of the program else connect with your ABAP Consultant to understand the program.

Regards,

Neeraj Jain

Hello Mohammed,

From SM37, select the job you are interested in and click on Step (or double-click for the details and then click Step). This will give you the program name being executed (possibly more than one if it's a sequence of programs), along with the variant name being used. Select the program name, then click Goto -> Program to see the ABAP code, or Goto -> Variant to see the variant definition. You can also find the program documentation here, if there is any, as well as any spool output the program generated.

Cheers,
Matt
