I have a program to be scheduled in the background .It reads data from application server file . I am giving the filename in the program itself but if i need to change the filename later how do i do it.

Hi,

Give the filename as a parameter in the selection-screen..

Otherwise you have to change the program to read it from the new file....

Thanks,

that will be scheduled to run daily automatically . It just updates a custom table. Can i still use the filename as selection parameter.

Yes Priyanka

By taking the filename as input parameter, we can change the filename at anytime without changing the program.

When the program is scheduled to work in background, just changing the variant will do the task.

Kind Regards

Hi,

Create a selection-screen parameter for the filename..

You can create a variant for the program with the default filename....Use the variant to create the job...

If there is any change in the filename...change the filename in the variant..

Hope this is what you are looking for..

Thanks,
