you have two option :

1) se38 run the report to the selection screen

put the relevant variant ,

and than choose from the manu "run in background"

2) in other program insert the following code

call function 'JOB_OPEN'

exporting

jobname = jobname

importing

jobcount = jobcount

exceptions

cant_create_job = 1

invalid_job_data = 2

jobname_missing = 3

others = 4.

call function 'JOB_SUBMIT'

exporting

• authcknam = 'FI-BATCH'

jobcount = jobcount

jobname = jobname

language = 'B'

report = report

variant = variant

exceptions

bad_priparams = 1

bad_xpgflags = 2

invalid_jobdata = 3

jobname_missing = 4

job_notex = 5

job_submit_failed = 6

lock_failed = 7

program_missing = 8

prog_abap_and_extpg_set = 9

others = 10.

call function 'JOB_CLOSE'

exporting

jobcount = jobcount

jobname = jobname

strtimmed = 'X'

exceptions

cant_start_immediate = 1

invalid_startdate = 2

jobname_missing = 3
