How to create a batch-job dynamically?

Question

Hello,
I would like to create a batch-job from within my abap code.
Therefore I want to determine a abap-report to be executed every X-Hours.
Do you have some sample code for creating a batch job?
I need to do it in abap because I want to create a TN to trigger the code creating the job.
So the user interaction will be minimal to start a periodic batch job.
thanks.

Hi Daniel,
select options could be stored by export/import to/from database:
      DESCRIBE TABLE t_vkpos LINES n.
      READ TABLE t_vkpos INDEX n.
      lastmaxvbeln = t_vkpos-vbeln.
      PERFORM get_varimemkey USING p_vari CHANGING vkposmemkey.
      EXPORT lastmaxvbeln TO DATABASE indx(zk) ID vkposmemkey.
      IF NOT sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
      PERFORM get_varimemkey USING p_vari CHANGING vkposmemkey.
      IMPORT lastmaxvbeln FROM DATABASE indx(zk) ID vkposmemkey.
      IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
        ls_vbeln-sign   = 'I'.
        ls_vbeln-option = 'GT'.
        ls_vbeln-low    = lastmaxvbeln.
        APPEND ls_vbeln.
      ENDIF
FORM get_varimemkey USING    vari TYPE raldb_vari
                    CHANGING memkey TYPE char22.
  IF vari IS INITIAL.
    RAISE get_varimemkey_unexepected.
  ENDIF.
  CONCATENATE 'Z_VKPOS_' vari INTO memkey.
ENDFORM.                    "
