Whenever you schedule a job in the background that program would require some parameters to execute the program.

In case the program does not have any parameters then you can simply schedule the program in the background without specifying the variant.

Other way of doing is to specify the default values of the parameters inside the program and make sure you have declared them as mandatory. Then you don't have to create a variant for background execution.

Now you can create the job in SM36.

Ravi

Hi Sarath,

I don't think you can schedule a report in the background (SM36) without variant.

Unless you run the report for background job through transaction SE38.
