How to know if a program is running in background

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I need your expertise on a particular situation. I have a program which can either be scheduled in background job or can be executed online.

If the program is executed in background there is a specific statement block which needs to be executed only when the program is schedule in a background job. My concern is how can I know if the program is being run in background so that I can trigger this specific code statements.

Any help will be greatly useful.

Thanks

Hi,

You can check for system variables SY-BATCH, for programs that run in background and SY-BINPT , for BDC sessions running in Background. Execute the code block if either of them is set to 'X'

Hi Sabir ,

If Sy-Batch = 'X'

Write the Specific code that you want to run in background.

endif.
