Hi,

scheduled = planned and not released

-> Job cannot run besides you release it

released = ready for start

-> Job run if start condition is reached

There are two ways to schedule a job from a program:

1. the "express" method using the BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE function module

2. the "full-control" method using the JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT, and JOB_CLOSE function modules.

With this method, you have full control over such job options as printing, start time options, and so on.

To schedule a job from within a program using the express method, you need only call the BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE function module.

With BP_JOBVARIANT_OVERVIEW, you can offer your users a simplified display and management function for their "express-method" jobs.

call function 'BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE'

exporting

title_name = 'Documentation Check' " Displayed as title of

" of scheduling screens

job_name = 'DocuCheck' " Name of background

" processing job

prog_name = 'RSTWGZS2' " Name of ABAP

" report that is to be

" run -- used also to

" select variants

exceptions

no_such_report = 01. " PROG_NAME program

" not found.

call function 'BP_JOBVARIANT_OVERVIEW' " List the jobs that

exporting " have been scheduled

title_name = 'Documentation Check' " Displayed as title

" of overview screen

job_name = 'DokuCheck' " Jobs with this name

" are listed

prog_name = 'RSTWGZS2'

exceptions

no_such_job = 01.
