Report in backgound with submit instruction

Question

Hello,
I have a program that submits reports depending the choise of the user,
practically it play the role of a selector, the others produce a printing.
If this program is executed in background I don't find the printing in the spool;
I've tried to use the instruction SUBMIT rep ... TO SAP-SPOOL, but it doesn't
work.
I  Thank you in advance.                                                  Paolo
