Scheduling a background job.

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am calling scheduling a program for a background job, but the start time is predefined by the parameters in the program itself.

I require to set the parameters in run-time with a screen from where user can input the scheduling details for the job before calling it in background.

Is there any FM or other workaround for this other than creating a custom screen.

Pls. help with your ideas.

Regards,

Stock.

Hello,

You can use the FM:GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS

Pass the parameters as given:

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

COPIES = '1'

DESTINATION = 'LOCL'

• IMMEDIATELY = 'X'

NEW_LIST_ID = 'X'

NO_DIALOG = ''

USER = SY-UNAME

IMPORTING

OUT_PARAMETERS = s_print_parms

VALID = v_valid

EXCEPTIONS

ARCHIVE_INFO_NOT_FOUND = 1

INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS = 2

INVALID_ARCHIVE_PARAMS = 3

OTHERS = 4.

CASE sy-subrc.

when 1.

message e000 with 'ARCHIVE_INFO_NOT_FOUND'.

when 2.

message e000 with 'INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS'.

when 3.

message e000 with 'INVALID_ARCHIVE_PARAMS'.

ENDCASE.

This will give a pop-up where u can enter yr print parameters.
