Scheduling a background abap report to run on a specific date

Question

Hello Experts,
I have an ABAP report I want to schedule in another program.
Basically, I want to schedule it, so that it runs the next day (sy-datum + 1). I have used FM Job_open followed by submit and Job close, but the program is executed immediately.
Below is the code snippet:
v_datenext = sy-datum + 1.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
    EXPORTING
      delanfrep = ' '
      jobgroup  = ' '
      jobname   = jobname
      sdlstrtdt = v_datenext
      sdlstrttm = sy-uzeit
    IMPORTING
      jobcount  = jobcount.
    SUBMIT z_prg_spinterf
    WITH i_year  EQ v_subyrnext
    WITH i_month EQ app->g_str_header-f_month
    WITH i_dc    EQ 'B'
                             USER sy-uname
                             VIA JOB jobname
                             NUMBER jobcount
                             AND RETURN.
  starttime-sdlstrttm = sy-uzeit + 60.
Close job
  CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
    EXPORTING
      jobcount     = jobcount
      jobname      = jobname
     prddays      = 1
      sdlstrtdt    = v_datenext
      sdlstrttm    = starttime-sdlstrttm
      strtimmed    = starttimeimmediate
      targetsystem = host.
The report z_prg_spinterf is getting executed immediately, which i dont want. I wanted it to be executed the next day.
Can someone help find out the source of the error. Maybe I am missing out something.
Thanks,
Nitish.
