Hi All,

I have a 3 program.

Program 1 is the main program.

Program 2 and Program 3 are sub programs. These two programs has to be scheduled in background through Program1.

Then i need to check the status of the program2 and program3 in Program1. Further I need to check the spool after the completion of the program2 and program3.

How can i achive this.

Hi,

You can submit prograams 2 and 3 from one by using the addition "VIA JOB job NUMBER n"

This job number can be generated using the FM JOB_OPEN.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Define back ground job in SM36 T-code. Assign the same in SM37 T-code for Scheduling job with required date.
