Sending email - later?

Hi ABAPers!

I have encountered a unique requirement. I have a user who wants an interface to run and THEN an email to be sent - 48 hours later!

Does anyone know of a way to generate an email within ABAP where you specifically delay its sending time? Or would it have to be two separate jobs? She's really insistent on it all being one program at this point, but I can't figure out a way to do it.

Your help is truly appreciated!

Thanks -

Abby

Hello Abby Fitch ,

You can write a program to send an e-mail and in your report logic create a JOB and schedule it after 48 hours . For the job use the E-mail sending program .

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks,

Greetson

Another option can be let the interface trigger a Workflow, In the workflow you can set the time delay to 2 days and send mail.

Thanks
