Hi ,

It seems as if u need to run the BG job using some varaint .

So first u need to save a varian with some Name say XYZ .

Now in ur code at the selection-screen ouput even do the code

AT SELECTION-SCREEN output .

If sy-batch = 'X' and sy-selset = 'XYZ.'.

Perform ABC.

ENDIF .

FORM ABC .

click on Start Condition

Click on DATE and TIME enter date scheduled Start and END times

Click on HOURLY/WEEKLY etc

CLick on RESTRICTIONS also to use further criteria.

so your job will be scheduled and run as per your requirement.

Hi Syed,

to get values from variant use this FM

RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS

You've to pass Program name and variant to this FM.

then FM returns table. by reading this table you can get values of particular select options.
