HI...

This is not possible.

When a background job is running, it has no connection to a presentation server (SAPGUI). Where would the popup screen be shown? On all users screens? Just because you schedule the job, it does not mean that it is your job and it has a link to your SAPGUI, it is simply a job running under your username which could quite easily still be running long after you have logged off the system.

If you use background debugging (from normal debug -> Settings -> In background task: Do not process), you could probably get a normal popup to work, otherwise you are restricted to messages (I,W,E,A), updating system logs, writing to the spool, or writing to a file.

With these tools you should be able to achieve what you need.

If it helps Reward with points
