Submit RSEOUT00 as background job

Question

Hi all,
Here is my requirement.There is a Z program from which RSEOUT00 program has to be called , so that it will change the Idoc status to '03'. I tried using Submit RSEOUT00..and return and also tried JOB_open and then SUBMIT rseout00 WITH docnum EQ p_idocno  user sy-uname  via  job jobname number jobcount and return and then JOB_CLOSE .I checked SM37 also where i can see this job as finished..
I tried COMMIT WORK statement and also WAIT statement .
But still the idoc status wont change to '03' .
Can anyone plase advise on how to correct this .

Hi,
I have created background job for RSEOUT00 and written the below code. It worked.
DATA: w_number           TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount,
           w_name              TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'ZTEST_JOB'.
   CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
     EXPORTING
       jobname          = w_name
     IMPORTING
       jobcount         = w_number
     EXCEPTIONS
       cant_create_job  = 1
       invalid_job_data = 2
       jobname_missing  = 3
       OTHERS           = 4.
   IF sy-subrc = 0.
     SUBMIT rseout00  VIA JOB w_name NUMBER w_number AND RETURN.
     IF sy-subrc = 0.
       CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
         EXPORTING
           jobcount             = w_number
           jobname              = w_name
           strtimmed            = 'X'
         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.
       IF sy-subrc <> 0.
       ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
   ENDIF.
