Problem in submiting standard program via job

Question

Hi Experts ,
   I have developed  programs for creating and posting return lots and payment lots for multiple incoming  files. For this i have submited standard  program of FPB3 and FPB5 transaction .  What happened is ,  if the child program fails due to some reason for one file , it is not coming back to the mother program and as a result other files remain unprocessed . So for this i tried with submiting the child program Via job so that if child program fails , only that job will fail and the mother program will not fail , so rest  files will be processed .
But the problem is the child program (standard program of FPB3/FPB5 )  is not working by this i.e.  the lots are not getting created adn.
Awaiting for any respone .

Hi,
If you are using Submit via Job, you need to use JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE FM's.
JOB_OPEN : Create a new job and return you the job number which you use in Submit
JOB_CLOSE: Will set the release conditions of the job.
Example:
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.
