You can schedule jobs to run under a different user ID (if you have the authorization to do so), so you could create a wrapper program that calls this function module and schedule it as a background job.

Hi,

I am new in abap.

If I understand well, if I execute this function in a wrapper program, I can execute this function with another user BUT,

What is a wrapper program ?

How do I execute a function in this program ?

Tx for your help

Suppose the FM signature looks like

FUNCTION ztest.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Interface locale :
*"  IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(PAR1) TYPE  C
*"  TABLES
*"      TAB1 STRUCTURE MARA
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------

A wrapper program could look like

REPORT  ztestwrapper.
TYPES tmara TYPE mara OCCURS 10.
* no-display allows much more flexibility here
PARAMETERS: par1 TYPE c NO-DISPLAY,
            tab1 TYPE tmara NO-DISPLAY. 
CALL FUNCTION 'ZTEST'
  EXPORTING
    par1 = par1
  TABLES
    tab1 = tab1.

For the scheduling of the job read [Task Overview: Full-Control Job Scheduling|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/fa/096cf2543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm]
