1 Program with Multiple Variants in Background with Parallel Processing..

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I need your help. Here is what I want to do.

I have a Program 'TEST1' with different different variants. I want to create New Program 'NEW' which execute 'TEST1' with VARIANTS1, 'TEST1' with VARIANTS2, 'TEST1 with VARIANTS3'.... and so on. Also I want to make sure that once I execute 'NEW' Program, all 'TEST1' with different VARIANTS needs to execute in back ground in parallel processing.

Can anybody give me step by step instructions / code for the same ASAP.

Thanks in advance

Hi Sanket,

U can call a new program using the submit statement followed by variant.

SUBMIT NEW USING SELECTION-SET 'variant1'.

U can get the variants for a program from table VARID and tvarv.

For abckground execution.

1.CALL FM JOB_OPEN by passing the job name and get the job number.

2. SUBMIT NEW USING SELECTION-SET 'variant1

VIA job_name NUMBER job_number.

3. CALL FM JOB_CLOSE.

Reward points.

Thanks

Sampath,

If I select two variants, will both program run parallel ?? and dont i have to write JOB_OPEN,SUBMIT,JOB_CLOSE for each variant.

I have One Program with 50 Variants. What I want is to run this One program with 50 variants in background, in parallel.

If you can provide me code, would be appreciated.

Thanks,
