creating new jobs dynamically

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have recently created a program to extract activity information with the use of GUID retrieval from CRMD_ORDER_H table and a BAPI call with the guids returned.

I have selection screen criteria for process type and a date range. I've had problems with the program completing due to the volumen of info that is being pulled. The program manages to pull data for a week at a time (and also for the process type range i want ) without failing.

My problem is that i have to extract information up til the beginning of the last year and i dont want to have to create multiple variants within sm36 (There would end up being to many)

Is it possibe to create a secondary program that will kick start a job and also supply the correct parameters (i.e date range) from within this program???

Thanks in advance

Confused!!
