Hi there...donnot use any error messages and any gui_upload or gui_downlaod..

Protect any variants used from being messed around with.

See the docs on object S_PROGRAM in tcode SU21 and the user-based protection flag in transaction VARCH for a start.

I see that you have marked the thread as solved...

... but there are also more options for you, so I assume that you used the search and found the answers.

There are two more aspects which are not obvious to the eye, incase you did not find them... search for the term "RSVARENT" and "SY-BATCH = 'X' ...

Another is "SET-SELECTION".

Unfortunately the spam answers at SDN make it difficult to find the "gems"... by asking questions as specific as possible this can be avoided.

Julius this correct.

To say the truth the postings didn't meet my question properly.

But nevertheless I can mention my problem once more.

I was ordered to write a report which will be used a daemon (job).

Because I dind't write any job report ever before I have posted this

question right here to prevent any doubts.

Do you know a simple tutorial for such purposes.

I don't know of any tutorials about this topic, but I would think that the ABAP programming part of it and the variants used are not the only aspect to consider.

For example should it run on any server or the current server or a specific server, and will there be many small steps or just one big one. Did your client make any such requirements or specifications available to you?

Again a bit surprizing that you have closed the thread.

Without having the foggiest idea about what this program actually does and the requirements you have, it is hard to comment much further...

If a file is being written to the app server and send somewhere, then depending on the clasification of the data there might be requirements to protect the directory path, or encrypt the data, and how you save the password it there is one needed for where-ever the data is going to.

I think if you want more detailed usefull help and discussion, you will need to provide more details with the question - much like someone would expect and hope for more detailed specs for a program...

Cheers,

Julius.
