run report in a background with command

[Former Member]

hello all,

i need to run a report,

but the user want to have a button that when he click on it , it will run the report in the background, instead of going to the "program", than to "execute in background" etc.

he want that all this will be in the code so that he just click on a button and it will run in a background.

is anyone know how to do this?

thanks in advanced.

You can do that.

1. If you want to run something immeidately in the background, then you can use the SUBMIT REPORT option.

2. IF you want to schedule the job, you can call the functions, JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT / SUBMIT REPORT THROUGHT JOB NUMBER, JOB_CLOSE.

Any of these can be done on clicking the button.

I hope atleast the user need to go to the selection screen, if not he then a background job could be schudled,i think so where by the output of the report could be sent to the user's inbox in periodic phase.

as for the backgound execution.
