Regarding program running in background

Question

Hi experts,
     I have one program which will give me ALV output, But since there are many records it is going for a TIME OUT ERROR.
I found one solution:-
I will keep a check box in the selection screen, if I select this check box the program need to be executed in back ground mode and the data need to be stored in application server.
Since the requirement is we need to store the data in Application server.
So can any one give any example how to implement this?
Thanks in advance,
Suresh

Hi,
This is code which will help u schedule a program in background via code.
Submit report as job(i.e. in background)
Job open
  call function 'JOB_OPEN'
Insert process into job
SUBMIT zreport and return
                with p_param1 = 'value'
                with p_param2 = 'value'
                user sy-uname
                via job jobname
                number jobcount.
  if sy-subrc > 0.
                                       "error processing
  endif.
Close job
    call function 'JOB_CLOSE'
If you want to execute a Program in Background,
Go to SE38--> Write Z program name ---> execute it -
> Enter inputs in selection Screen ( if there) -> then Press F9 or Select Program in Menu bar--> select Execute in Back Ground.
You can also use  T Code SM36 and SM37.
Thanks & Regards,
