Hi,

1. After entering the selection criteria, execute in background using F9.

2. Make all the parameters optional and fill them in the intiailization event. Then its not mandatory to have a variant.

Hi,

from SE38 from your selection screen you can directly set the BACkground job, Just click on Function key F9 and then give Print Prameters, then Job settings , then click on immediate job and save.

Thank you guys.I was actually trying to figure out the messages in the log when you run a background job.If you do not specify a variant then an internal number appears there for the variant name.For example &0000000001.That is why i was trying to do reverse engineering to figure out from where the variant number was coming from.
