										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Scenario:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Business wants to run a <strong>Sales Order Report</strong> (ZSD_SALES_ORDER_REPORT) every night automatically in the background.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Instead of manual execution, a <strong>background job</strong> is scheduled from the ABAP program.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>CODE:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>REPORT z_schedule_bg_job.</p>
<p>DATA: lv_jobname TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE &#8216;Z_SALES_ORDER_JOB&#8217;,<br />

lv_subrc TYPE sy-subrc.</p>
<p>PARAMETERS: p_variant TYPE variant OPTIONAL.</p>
<p>START-OF-SELECTION.</p>
<p>&#8221; 1. Open Job<br />
CALL FUNCTION &#8216;JOB_OPEN&#8217;<br />
EXPORTING<br />

IMPORTING<br />
jobcount = lv_jobcount<br />
EXCEPTIONS<br />

<p>IF sy-subrc &lt;&gt; 0.<br />

<p>&#8221; 2. Submit Report to Job<br />

EXPORTING<br />

<p><strong>How it works</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>JOB_OPEN</strong> → Creates the background job and returns a job count.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>JOB_SUBMIT</strong> → Assigns a report (with optional variant) to the job.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>JOB_CLOSE</strong> → Schedules the job for execution (immediately or at a specified time).</p>
</li>
</ol>
