Hi

Adding to the suggestions given above, you use the System Date(SY-DATUM) in your program. As a background job cannot take any input through selection-screen...

So, as you schedule it periodically, it takes the value from <b>SY-DATUM</b> system variable.

Remove Selection-screen and populate the sy-datum value in <b>Initialization</b> section.

Regards,

Raj

You can follow one of the following 2 ways:

1)GO to SM36 to schedule your program in background but to make date as current date, do as follows:

Add the following 3 lines of code to your Program:

Let's name the field "Last Changed on" as w_date.

if SY-BATCH = 'X'.

W_date = sy-datum.

endif.

2.

Create a new driver program for your program

and in the driver program , call the following FMs:

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

To create/ set a dynamic variant for JOB_SUBMIT,

use FM 'RS_CHANGE_CREATED_VARIANT'/'RS_CREATE_VARIANT'

Hope it solves your problem.

Regards

Thank you all you people for such a quick replies..!!!

Dear Akriti,

could you please clear me this point..

How this sy-batch would work ?

I mean, i saw in syst structure showing "system field filled if program is running in Background".

When this sy-batch would filled-up in respect of my program because i am not using built in "excute in background" option which is given in Menu ?

if i dont put this "Last Changed On" parameter on my selection screen and wish to run this program in background automatically at 12 o clock..then..

Please show some light ....

if the values of the parameter "last changed on" is going to be sy-datum always, why do u want to have it a parameter. use the variable sy-datum inside the program directly. Then for scheduling joibs u go to the transaction SM36, in the appl tool bar, one wizard option is there. u go by that, the steps and very simple and self explanatory

Thanks,

Dinu

Hi virendra,

1. while declaring the parameter,

give DEFAULT SY-DATUM.

2. For running in background,

use sm36 to schedule in background,

everyday,

at the desired time 12:00 clock.
