Hi,

I don't think you can schedule a program in background from half way. You will have to submit the program in the background in the begining.

Hi,

You can submit the job in background mode in the middle of processing by using job_open, job_close and job_submit FM's.

Hi,

The question, I am executing a program and after 15 minutes, I want to submit the program in the background. If inside a loop at the time of 15 minutes, how are you going to come out, unless you are looking the at execution time and after minutes you come out of the loop and submit the same report in the background.

Yes, you can dynamically schedule a job using JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT and JOB_CLOSE functions.

Hi Krishna,

I would suggest that try to performance tune the program if possible. Scheduling the programm in background jobs is not a good soultion always for program taking time. Most of the programs can definitely be performance tunned to run for shorter times.

I think its better to analyze the programs and tune it.
