Hi Navid

Create a background job in SM35, schedule it in SM36.

You can view the status in SM37.

Hi navid,

1. simple

2. sy-batch

3. Use this variable

it will contain 'X'

only if the program is run in background

4. START-OF-SELECTION.

IF SY-BATCH IS INITIAL.

MESSAGE 'CANNOT RUN IN FOREGROUND' TYPE 'I'.

LEAVE LIST-PROCESSING.

ENDIF.

thank you amit,

i hide tired it but my mistake was i used ' if sy-batch

= ' '. and not in start of selection and so it used to stop any processing. silly mistake

Write a statement like

REPORT ZTEST MESSAGE-ID ZZ..

PARAMETERS: MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR.

INITIALIZATION.

IF SY-BATCH = SPACE.

MESSAGE E001 WITH 'NOT IN BACKGROUND'.
ENDIF.

START-OF-SELECTION.

WRITE : MATNR.

If you want to see the screen you could write the condition in at- selection screen.

cheers,
