Calling FM in background

Hi All,

I have a requirement to call one function module in background job. To acheive this, I tried to call this FM in another FM using 'IN BACKGROUND TASK' option. But this option is not scheduling it as a background job, rather its running this FM as a dialog session in background. And it gets terminated after the dialog timeout period.

The other option is to call this FM in a program and submitting this program in background. But as the input parameter of this FM is complex structure, I am not able to pass this complex table to the pragram.

Can you please suggest some solution..

Thanks in advance..

Sorry.. I forgot to mention one thing.

This FM(RFC) is basically getting called from another system. And as it is taking long time to run we want to schedule it as a backgroung task. So even if we call this FM in program, we need to call that program in one RFC as a background job. And as the input parameter of actual FM is complex table, I am not able to pass it to that program.

CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK

[DESTINATION dest]

[AS SEPARATE UNIT].
