The program running in the background job simply needs to have a WRITE statement in it. That's it.

HI Yathish

If the program gives an output, then you will have spool request generated when executed in background.

That's right, in order for a program to produce a spool request, it either must create a list output using WRITE statements, or it must produce a sapscript or smartform output.

In the first case, a simply WRITE statement at the end of your program will work.

WRITE:/ 'Program has completed successfully'.
