          OTHERS               = 8.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.
I am using the addition USER but the job gets started with user who is log on or who is using this trasaction.
It should start with user 'K5_BATCH' but it is not...........
Please help........

I found the following info:
Open Job Scheduling Without Dialog (Including COMMIT WORK)
Use JOB_OPEN to create a background job.  The function module returns the unique ID number which, together with the job name, is required for identifying the job.
Once you have "opened" a job, you can add job steps to it with JOB_SUBMIT and submit the job for processing with JOB_CLOSE.
I think you will first have to use the JOB_SUBMIT  statement like mentioned above
