Hi,

I had used job_open, job_submit and job_close to create batch job and it's working.

Just another question, will i be able to define what data needs to be input into the defined program for job submit instead of using variant?

or, is there any way i can create a variant for the program (in terms of programming)?

thanks.

best regards,

Hi,

Use the following steps to craete a batch job :

Create a job using function module JOB-OPEN and collect the job specifications, add a job step to the job with the function module JOB-SUBMIT and then close the job and pass it to Background processing system for execution with the function module JOB-CLOSE.

Tcodes are :-

SM36(Job creation)

SM37(Job selection and execution).
