Background job name

Question

Hi All,
Background job related info. not getting retrieved when using function module 'SAPWL_READ_STATISTIC_FILES' (version SAP ECC 5.0 compatible) in our SAP ECC 6.0 whereas if I use 'SWNC_STAD_READ_STATRECS' I'm getting the required info.
Can anyone let me know why FM 'SAPWL_READ_STATISTIC_FILES' doesn't give the required info. in SAP ECC 6.0?
Thank you.

Make your report automatically processed in background when it is being executed using JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT and JOB_CLOSE like following[example code],
DATA: d_jobcount LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
           d_jobname LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBNAME.
03
04 d_jobname = 'JOB1'. " Here you may give the job name what ever you insist.05
06 CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
07 EXPORTING
08 jobname = d_jobname
09 IMPORTING
10 jobcount = d_jobcount
11 EXCEPTIONS
12 cant_create_job = 1
13 invalid_job_data = 2
14 jobname_missing = 3
15 OTHERS = 4.
16
17 IF sy-subrc NE 0.
18 MESSAGE s368(00) WITH 'Error Creating Job'
