relating with back ground jobs

[Former Member]

hi gurus,

i have 3 fields on sel-screen.one for date of creation of sales order in range and three radiobuttons for yearly, quartly and monthly display of sales order.

i am creating this pgm to run in background.

pls, help me out to write a logic to break varint at run time.

for eg. if i m inputin 1jan 2007 to 15 feb 2007 than on monthly selection it should give 2 steps: 1 for 1jan to 31 jan and 2nd

for 1feb to 15 feb.

similarly, on quartly selection it will retrieve for 1jan to 15 feb.

pls, help me out to write a logic for this requirement.

it is very urgent...

pleeesee reply it immediatly

Hi,

write a second report splittin dates as subscribed. SUBMIT the already existing report several times.

Spool might be a problem - EXPORT spool to MEMORY and IMPORT might solve the problem.

Better: plan differnt steps of the jopb for each period. If thsi must be done dynmically you may use function JOB_START to shedule jobs at runtime.

have fun,

HP

I suggest that you build an internal table with start date/end date for each interval that you have to output

take the date range from selection screen and loop on years / quarters / months according to radio button

then select data from database between first start date and last end date

do a LOOP on internal table containing intervals and collect data for it
