Hi Anurag,

Yes, you can do it.

follow the bellow example

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
         EXPORTING
              JOBNAME          = 'GCERTS'
        IMPORTING
             JOBCOUNT          = JOBCOUNT
        EXCEPTIONS
             CANT_CREATE_JOB  = 1
             INVALID_JOB_DATA = 2
             JOBNAME_MISSING  = 3
             OTHERS           = 4.

    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
      MESSAGE E050 WITH TEXT-024.
    ENDIF.


    SUBMIT RSBDCSUB AND RETURN
                    USER SY-UNAME
                    VIA  JOB 'GCERTS' NUMBER JOBCOUNT
                    WITH MAPPE    = 'GCERTS'
                    WITH VON      = SY-DATUM
                    WITH BIS      = SY-DATUM
                    WITH Z_VERARB = 'X'.

    CLEAR JOB_RELEASED.
    CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
         EXPORTING
              JOBCOUNT                    = JOBCOUNT
              JOBNAME                     = 'GCERTS'
              STRTIMMED                   = 'X'
         IMPORTING
              JOB_WAS_RELEASED            = JOB_RELEASED
         EXCEPTIONS
              CANT_START_IMMEDIATE        = 1
              INVALID_STARTDATE           = 2
              JOBNAME_MISSING             = 3
              JOB_CLOSE_FAILED            = 4
              JOB_NOSTEPS                 = 5
              JOB_NOTEX                   = 6
              LOCK_FAILED                 = 7
              OTHERS                      = 8.

Here first we need to open the job first and then submit your program through that job to schedule for particular date and time

and after words close job.It will run the Job when it reaches that particular date and time

Hi,

You can use the function module SUBST_SCHEDULE_GENERATOR to schedule a background job.

CALL FUNCTION 'SUBST_SCHEDULE_GENERATOR'
 EXPORTING
   JOBNAME            = 'Z_TEST_JOB'
   REPNAME            = 'Z_TEST_PROG'
   VARNAME            = 'Z_VAR1'
*   AUTHCKNAM          = 'DDIC'
*   BATCHHOST          = ' '
*   LANGUAGE           = SY-LANGU
*   PRIPARAMS          = ' '
*   IV_SCHEDEVER       = ' '
*   PARAM              = 0
*   SDLSTRTDT          = '         '
*   SDLSTRTTM          = '        '
*   STRTIMMED          = 'X'
* IMPORTING
*   JOBCOUNT           =
*   RC_START           =
* TABLES
*   SELTAB             = .

This will instantly start the background job for this program. In case you want to give a start date and time, you can mention the same in the parameter SDLSTRTDT and SDLSTRTTM.

Reward points if helpful.

Hi,

Use function modules(Job_open,Job_submit and job_close).

Use submit command for scheduling like below.

SUBMIT RSBDCSUB AND RETURN

USER SY-UNAME

VIA JOB 'GCERTS' NUMBER JOBCOUNT

WITH MAPPE = 'GCERTS'

WITH VON = SY-DATUM

WITH BIS = SY-DATUM

WITH Z_VERARB = 'X'.

Regards,
