MINI_JOB_WIZARD & Dynamic variants

[Former Member]

Does anyone know how to create variants dynamically?

On the selection screen of a report I am using a button to call the MINI_JOB_WIZARD to schedule a background job. Input to this function module is a program name and a variant. I don’t want the user to be saving the variants and then schedule the background jobs, I just want the user to enter the selection conditions and schedule the job.

Similar to the SAP functionality of menu path Program --> Execute in Background (F9).

The SAP standard functionality of "Execute in Background" apparently creates a variant dynamically based on the user’s input in selection screen and schedules a background jobs using that dynamically created variant. These variants are look something like "&0000000001234."

I want to use the MINI_JOB_WIZARD function module because it’s functionality looks much better than the "Execute in Background." Simply, its a lot more user friendly.

Does anyone know of a better way of using the MINI_JOB_WIZARD function module?

Thanks,

Hi Sumit,

Can you have a look into the FUNCTION-POOL RSSYSTDB? This might give you an insight.

Cheers!
