Use the syntax:

CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.

<b>See the example:

REPORT RS41503F.

/* This program performs a transactional RFC.

TABLES: SCUSTOM.

SELECT-OPTIONS: CUSTID FOR SCUSTOM-ID DEFAULT 1 TO 2.

PARAMETERS: DEST LIKE RFCDES-RFCDEST DEFAULT 'NONE',

MODE DEFAULT 'N',

TIME LIKE SY-UZEIT DEFAULT SY-UZEIT.

DATA: CUSTITAB TYPE TABLE OF CUST415,

TAMESS TYPE TABLE OF T100,

WA_CUSTITAB TYPE CUST415.

SELECT ID NAME TELEPHONE INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE CUSTITAB

FROM SCUSTOM WHERE ID IN CUSTID ORDER BY ID.

PERFORM READ_CUSTITAB.

EDITOR-CALL FOR CUSTITAB TITLE 'Editor for table CUSTITAB'.

PERFORM READ_CUSTITAB.

CALL FUNCTION 'TRAIN415_RFC_CALLTRANSACTION'

IN BACKGROUND TASK

DESTINATION DEST

EXPORTING

TAMODE = MODE

TABLES

CUSTTAB = CUSTITAB.

CALL FUNCTION 'START_OF_BACKGROUNDTASK'

EXPORTING

STARTDATE = SY-DATUM

STARTTIME = TIME

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

IF SY-SUBRC = 1.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

COMMIT WORK.

CALL TRANSACTION 'SM58'.

SKIP.

LOOP AT CUSTITAB INTO WA_CUSTITAB.

WRITE: / CUSTITAB-ID, CUSTITAB-NAME,

Hii

If your aim is to run a FM in background, the you can use the syntax:

<b>CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.</b>

Transactional RFC before release 7.0

<b>1. CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK

[DESTINATION dest]

parameter_list

[AS SEPARATE UNIT].</b>

Transactional RFC as of release 7.0

<b>2. CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND UNIT

parameter_list.</b>

otherwise

<b>Create a report and call the function module.

The schedule that report in backgroud in SM37.</b>

check this link

Thank you all..

Sorry i missed to tell you that ..Actually i want to test my FM without calling it in any report.

You can call this FM in a program and run that program in background. I think this is the simplest way.
