Maybe you could check the authorizations. In the function module documentation, it says:

The function module returns an indicator as to whether the job was automatically released or not. A job is automatically released to run only if the user who scheduled the job has RELE release authorization for the authorization object Operations on background jobs.

Rajan,

In the same documentation it says : Note:  if a user does not have the authorization to release a job, then the job is scheduled with the status planned.

Now after i run this program , and check SM37, the status is scheduled. so this tells not an authorization issue.

Also i can go and schedule on a given time from SM36.

Now after reading that i also passed the parameter JOB_WAS_RELEASED importing it is geting blank value.

but documentation says, it shud be X if Job is released.

any idea pls....

Niraja,

The only suggestion I have is to debug the job_close function. Within this function, it makes a call to another function 'BP_JOB_MODIFY'. The sy-subrc value of this function is what sets the job status.

You could try debugging this and checking where your code is failing.

Sorry, no other ideas.
