Try:

 SUBMIT RIMODGEN with MA_MATNR in MA_MATNR   "<=====
                  WITH I_MODID  = 'TEST_RAJ'
                  WITH I_LOGSYS = 'D41030'
                  with I_APPL   = 'TEST_RAJ'
                  user sy-uname
                  via job jobname
                  number jobcount
                  and RETURN.

One problem is that you are using the transaction code in your SUBMIT statement, this is not right, you should be using the corresponding program name in the SUBMIT Statment.

SUBMIT RIMODGEN with MA_MATNR in MA_MATNR
                  WITH I_MODID  = 'TEST_RAJ'
                  WITH I_LOGSYS = 'D41030'
                  with I_APPL   = 'TEST_RAJ'
                  user sy-uname
                  via job jobname
                  number jobcount
                  and RETURN.

hi Rich

RIMODGEN is not the transaction.. its the program of transaction CFM1.

The present program just executes the current program and freezes at the selection screen of RIMODGEN..

please let me know what the problem

[RichHeilman]

Rob and I were pointing out that you have the transaction name in the SUBMIT statement in your code that you posted above, so if you are not currently using the program name in your program, make sure that you are. Also, you may want to use the extension " to sap-spool without spool dynpro" of the SUBMIT statement, the ouput will then go to the spool. Here is an example program where I am creating a background job .

report zrich_0004 .

data:   sdate type sy-datum,
        stime type sy-uzeit,
        l_valid,
        ls_params like pri_params,
        l_jobcount like tbtcjob-jobcount,
        l_jobname  like tbtcjob-jobname.

start-of-selection.

* Get Print Parameters
  call function 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
       exporting
            no_dialog      = 'X'
       importing
            valid          = l_valid
            out_parameters = ls_params.

* Open Job
  l_jobname = 'ZRICH_0005'.
  call function 'JOB_OPEN'
       exporting
            jobname  = l_jobname
       importing
            jobcount = l_jobcount.

* Submit report to job
  submit zrich_0005
       via job     l_jobname
           number  l_jobcount
       to sap-spool without spool dynpro
           spool parameters ls_params
              and return.

* Kick job off 30 seconds from now.
  sdate = sy-datum.
  stime = sy-uzeit + 30.

* Schedule and close job.
  call function 'JOB_CLOSE'
       exporting
            jobcount  = l_jobcount
            jobname   = l_jobname
            sdlstrtdt = sdate
            sdlstrttm = stime
*            strtimmed = 'X'

Sorry I posted it as CFM1 incorrectly, its RIMODGEN..

I did it right earlier but then I was trying out with CFM1 and didnt edit it before posting(syntax error)

Even then it freezes at selection screen

Shall I do this using BDC's ??

I see what you mean. I get the same results too. It may have something to do with the call to JOB_OPEN.

Something odd with the selection screen here.

Did you try setting up a variant and then submitting it like:

SUBMIT rimodgen WITH SELECTION-SET your_variant   "<=====
                USER sy-uname
                VIA JOB jobname
                NUMBER jobcount
                AND RETURN.
