Create a job using job_open

• Create your job with JOB_OPEN. The module returns a unique job

• number. Together with the jobname, this number identifies the

• job. Other parameters are available, but are not required.

JOBNAME = 'Freely selectable name for the job(s) you create'.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

EXPORTING

JOBNAME = JOBNAME

IMPORTING

JOBCOUNT = JOBNUMBER

EXCEPTIONS

CANT_CREATE_JOB = 01

INVALID_JOB_DATA = 02

JOBNAME_MISSING = 03

OTHERS = 99.

IF SY-SUBRC > 0.

<Error processing>

ENDIF.

Adding job step

• Add a job step: ABAP program

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'

EXPORTING

AUTHCKNAM = SY-UNAME " Runtime authorizations

" user

JOBCOUNT = JOBNUMBER " Value from JOB_OPEN

JOBNAME = JOBNAME " Value from JOB_OPEN

REPORT = 'REPORT' " Report to be run

VARIANT = 'VARIANT' " Variant to use with

" report

PRIPARAMS = USER_PRINT_PARAMS " User printing options

ARCPARAMS = USER_ARC_PARAMS " User archiving options

" Both sets of options

" come from

" GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS

EXCEPTIONS

BAD_PRIPARAMS = 01

INVALID_JOBDATA = 02

JOBNAME_MISSING = 03

JOB_NOTEX = 04

JOB_SUBMIT_FAILED = 05

LOCK_FAILED = 06

PROGRAM_MISSING = 07

PROG_ABAP_AND_EXTPG_SET = 08

OTHERS = 99.

IF SY-SUBRC > 0.

<Error processing>

ENDIF.

**Closing job

• Submit job for processing: immediate start

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

EXPORTING

JOBCOUNT = JOBNUMBER " Job identification: number

JOBNAME = JOBNAME " and name.

STRTIMMED = 'X' " Schedules the job for

" immediate start. The job

" is started immediately

" only if the user has the

" RELE authorization to

" release a job to run.

IMPORTING

JOB_WAS_RELEASED = JOB_RELEASED " If user has authorization

" to release jobs to run, job

" is automatically released

" when it is scheduled. This

" field is set to 'x' if the

" job has been released.

" Otherwise, the job is sche-

" duled but must be released

" by an administrator before

" it can be started.

EXCEPTIONS

• CANT_START_IMMEDIATE No longer used. Replaced by IMPORTING

• parameter JOB_WAS_RELEASED.

INVALID_STARTDATE = 01

JOBNAME_MISSING = 02

JOB_CLOSE_FAILED = 03

JOB_NOSTEPS = 04

JOB_NOTEX = 05

LOCK_FAILED = 06

OTHERS = 99.

IF SY-SUBRC > 0.

<Error processing>

ENDIF.

*Please note it's not my original code..I have done what you could do!! Just visited help.sap.com and typed Background jobs and got sample codes..

      host like msxxlist-host.
data: begin of starttime.
        include structure tbtcstrt.
data: end of starttime.
