Hello,

You must pass GROUP as the session name to identify the session in SM35 session list, rest can be blank. See details Below:

BDC_OPEN_GROUP takes the following EXPORTING parameters:

CLIENT

Client in which the session is to be processed. Default: If you don't provide a value for this parameter, the default is the client under which the batch input program runs when the session is created.

GROUP

Name of the session that is to be created. May be up to 12 characters long. Default: None. You must specify a session name.

HOLDDATE

Lock date. The session is locked and may not be processed until after the date that you specify. Format: YYYYMMDD (8 digits).

Default: No lock date, session can be processed immediately. A lock date is optional.

KEEP

Retain session after successful processing. Set this option to the value X to have a session kept after it has been successfully processed. A session that is kept remains in the input/output queue until an administrator deletes it.

Default: If not set, then sessions that are successfully processed are deleted. Only the batch input log is kept.

USER

Authorizations user for background processing.
