Create spool for background jobs which uses submit statement

Question

Hi Gurus,
             I have a quick question regarding the backgroud jobs. When we run a program in the background , it should create a spool for us, but, the problem comes when I am running a program in the background, its not creating the spool. This program uses SUBMIT statement. This program collects the data and it will submit to the other program and then retuen. In this case, its not creating a spool. Its very important for us to look at the spool for this program. Does anybody cam across this kind of problem? I need ur inputs.
Thanks in advance, <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Regards,
Srinivas.

hi check this link ...
Scheduling a submitable program as a background task with the number number in a background request name. After scheduling, the background task is completed by function module JOB_CLOSE and released immediately.
DATA: number TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount,
      name TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'JOB_TEST',
      print_parameters TYPE pri_params.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
  EXPORTING
    jobname          = name
  IMPORTING
    jobcount         = number
  EXCEPTIONS
    cant_create_job  = 1
    invalid_job_data = 2
    jobname_missing  = 3
    OTHERS           = 4.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
  SUBMIT submitable TO SAP-SPOOL
                    SPOOL PARAMETERS print_parameters
                    WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
                    VIA JOB name NUMBER number
                    AND RETURN.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
      EXPORTING
        jobcount             = number
        jobname              = 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.

sy-subrc  Meaning

4            Scheduling cancelled by user on the selection screen.
8            Error during scheduling, i.e. when accessing JOB_SUBMIT internally.
12          Error in internal number assignment.
