Hello all.

Is there a way for me to know, in the ABAP program, at runtime, whether the program is beeing run by a background job or not?

Thanks!

HI barak,

There is no such indicator field for background job but SY-BATCH is the sytem field(check table SYST) which gives you the name of the program running in the background.

Best of luck,
