Calling Function Module starting new job

Question

Hallo !
I'm calling a 'Z' function module from a class method.
I want the calling will start immediately a new job.
(That I will see in SM37)
(Like we can do with submit statement)
Is there a way to this ?
(I need the function will start a job - because
I want to save the function log in the Job list.)
Thanks in advance,
  N.S.

Answer 1

step : 1
Sample Program: Creating a Job with JOB_OPEN
<b>explanation :</b>
Use JOB_OPEN to create a background job. The function module returns the unique ID number which, together with the job name, is required for identifying the job.
Once you have "opened" a job, you can add job steps to it with JOB_SUBMIT and submit the job for processing with JOB_CLOSE.
Create your job with JOB_OPEN. The module returns a unique job
number. Together with the jobname, this number identifies the
job. Other parameters are available, but are not required.
JOBNAME = 'Freely selectable name for the job(s) you create'.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
JOBNAME = JOBNAME
IMPORTING
JOBCOUNT = JOBNUMBER
EXCEPTIONS
CANT_CREATE_JOB = 01
INVALID_JOB_DATA = 02
JOBNAME_MISSING = 03
OTHERS = 99.
IF SY-SUBRC > 0.
<Error processing>
ENDIF.
step 2;
Sample Program: Adding an ABAP Job Step
<b>explanation :</b>
Use JOB_SUBMIT to add a job step to a background job that you have opened with JOB_OPEN.
A job step is an independent unit of work in a job, the execution of an ABAP or external program. Each job step can have its own authorizations user and printer/optical archiving specifications.
Add a job step: ABAP program
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'
EXPORTING
AUTHCKNAM = SY-UNAME " Runtime authorizations
" user
JOBCOUNT = JOBNUMBER " Value from JOB_OPEN
JOBNAME = JOBNAME " Value from JOB_OPEN
REPORT = 'REPORT' " Report to be run
VARIANT = 'VARIANT' " Variant to use with
" report
PRIPARAMS = USER_PRINT_PARAMS " User printing options
ARCPARAMS = USER_ARC_PARAMS " User archiving options
" Both sets of options
" come from
" GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS
EXCEPTIONS
BAD_PRIPARAMS = 01
INVALID_JOBDATA = 02
JOBNAME_MISSING = 03
JOB_NOTEX = 04
JOB_SUBMIT_FAILED = 05
LOCK_FAILED = 06
PROGRAM_MISSING = 07
PROG_ABAP_AND_EXTPG_SET = 08
OTHERS = 99.
step 3
Sample Program: Immediate Start with JOB_CLOSE
<b>explanation :</b>
Use JOB_CLOSE to pass a background job to the background processing system to be run. Once you have "closed" a job, you can no longer add job steps to it or change job/job step specifications.
The function module returns an indicator as to whether the job was automatically released or not. A job is automatically released to run only if the user who scheduled the job has RELE release authorization for the authorization object Operations on background jobs.
A job step is an independent unit of work in a job, the execution of an ABAP or external program. Each job step can have its own authorizations user and printer/optical archiving specifications.
Submit job for processing: immediate start
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
EXPORTING
JOBCOUNT = JOBNUMBER " Job identification: number
JOBNAME = JOBNAME " and name.
STRTIMMED = 'X' " Schedules the job for
" immediate start. The job
" is started immediately
" only if the user has the
" RELE authorization to
" release a job to run.
IMPORTING
JOB_WAS_RELEASED = JOB_RELEASED " If user has authorization
" to release jobs to run, job
" is automatically released
" when it is scheduled. This
" field is set to 'x' if the
" job has been released.
" Otherwise, the job is sche-
" duled but must be released
" by an administrator before
" it can be started.
EXCEPTIONS
CANT_START_IMMEDIATE No longer used. Replaced by IMPORTING
parameter JOB_WAS_RELEASED.
INVALID_STARTDATE = 01
JOBNAME_MISSING = 02
JOB_CLOSE_FAILED = 03
JOB_NOSTEPS = 04
JOB_NOTEX = 05
LOCK_FAILED = 06
OTHERS = 99.
IF SY-SUBRC > 0.
<Error processing>
ENDIF.
in step 1  we will create a job with name etc..
in step 2 we will assign work to this job
step 3 : we will close the job inorder make it scheduled .
