Job TP_BROADCASTING_* and RSRD_BROADCAST_FOR_TIMEPOINT Program error

Question

Hi Experts,
We have a JOB TP_BROADCASTING_*  that is executed daily that contains the Program RSRD_BROADCAST_FOR_TIMEPOINT as second step.  It is used for scheduling broadcast. Besides that, the first step contains a custom program which checks a table that contains date (some random dates) which says if the second step should run otherwise it aborts through BP_JOB_ABORT. This results in a daily Canceled Job (except the days when there is entry in that table) entry in sm37. We want to avoid having this canceled Job in the system report everyday.
One suggestion given by my developer is to call the second Program (SAP) from the custom program and remove it from the second step. Does it sound right ? Do you guys have any other suggestion

Your error has been explained below in one of the WIKI.
ERROR: 'Parallel processing not possible: no processing of X package(s)'
To overcome Parallel Processing errors create a Process Chain which executes settings using report RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH.
Create the variants for report RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH. Start transaction SE38 and execute the report. Select the setting(s) and save them as a variant.
Include a process step in a process chain which executes an ABAP program. In the process step, choose the report RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH and the variant (from step 1) in the process chain step.
Simulate a sequential execution by adding an additional wait-step in between process steps calling report RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH, e.g. by adding a process chain step which calls a simple Z-report that waits for a given timeframe using the ABAP statement WAIT UP TO XX SECONDS.
