Problems creating background job for program (job open, submit and close)

Question

Hi gurus,
im trying to start a background job using the FM BP_START_DATE_EDITOR to show the start date to the job or if it's imediate. this FM it's working fine, after call it im opening a job, submiting it and call the job close FM and the job close FM creates me the job.
The problem it's when i go to the sm37 to see the job status the job has been canceled, and the job log says that i have to give a start date to the job.
What i dont understand it's either the job is imediate or i choose a date to start the job always gives me this error...
Below goes my code,
any ideas will be rewarded

Hello João.
In debug mode, check the value of variables you passed to parameters sdlstrtdt and sdlstrttm.
As aditional info, I usually achieve your goal without FM BP_START_DATE_EDITOR.
Check this code:
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
      EXPORTING
           jobname          = w_jobname
      IMPORTING
           jobcount         = w_jobcount
      EXCEPTIONS
           cant_create_job  = 1
           invalid_job_data = 2
           jobname_missing  = 3
           OTHERS           = 4.
CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
CLEAR seltab_wa.
MOVE: t_jobs-param TO seltab_wa-selname,
t_processar-line+34 TO seltab_wa-low.
APPEND seltab_wa TO seltab.
seltab_wa-selname = 'P_LOJA'.
seltab_wa-low = t_processar-ficheiro+7(4).
APPEND seltab_wa TO seltab.
*** Submete o programa para o JOB
SUBMIT (t_jobs-repid)
  WITH  SELECTION-TABLE seltab
  USER sy-uname
   VIA JOB w_jobname NUMBER w_jobcount
   AND RETURN.
*** Encerra o JOB
  l_hora = sy-uzeit.
  ADD 60 TO l_hora.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
   EXPORTING
      jobcount           = w_jobcount
      jobname           = w_jobname
      sdlstrtdt            = sy-datum
      sdlstrttm           = l_hora
      targetserver       = w_servidor
   IMPORTING
      job_was_released     = l_liberado
   EXCEPTIONS
      cant_start_immediate = 1
      invalid_startdate    = 2
      jobname_missing      = 3
      job_close_failed     = 4
      job_nosteps          = 5
      job_notex            = 6
      lock_failed          = 7
      OTHERS               = 8.
