Is it possible to schedule 2 programs say ZABC and ZPQR such that ZABC gets executed at 8 am in morning

and ZPQR at 9 in the night but if ZABC fails ZPQR should not be executed

Moderator message: please use more descriptive subject lines from now on.

Hi

Have you tried setting up the Starting conditions when you create the background job using SM36?

Would be a snap with an external scheduling tool. Without it, I think that ZPQR should be programmed to check for ZABC execution status and terminate accordingly. Else you could add a second step to ZABC that would schedule ZPQR for same day 9 pm execution if successful.

Upon successful completion of ZABC update a custom table with some flag. In job ZPQR scan the custom table for the "success flag", if you don't get issue an error message & stop the processing.
