Hello,

I am currently working on a report where depending on the number of items selected, the user may choose to process all the items right now or as a background process.

How can I do that in ABAP?

Thanks

To run a job in the background it has to be scheduled as batch job. You would usually do that using transaction SM36. As I understand your problem you want to schedule such a job directly from your coding. You may want to have a look at function group BTCH. It overs quite a few FMs to programmatically add a batch job.

Alirhgt, thanks for the information. Looks like FG BTCH has what I need.
