REPORT BCSAMPLE.
*
* You must include LBTCHDEF in all background processing
* applications.  Use only the LBTCHDEF definitions that appear
* in examples as values for function modules.  LBTCHDEF also
* declares values that are used only internally in background
* processing. 
*
* If you plan to schedule external programs, you must include
* RSXPGDEF to define constants for the control flags for external
* programs.
*
INCLUDE LBTCHDEF.     “ Background processing definitions.
INCLUDE RSXPGDEF.     “ Definitions for external programs.
*
* Sample DATA entries for scheduling a job.
*
  DATA: JOBNUMBER       LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,  “ Job ID and
        JOBNAME         LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBNAME,   “ job name.
        STARTDATE       LIKE TBTCJOB-SDLSTRTDT, “ Start-time
        STARTTIME       LIKE TBTCJOB-SDLSTRTTM, “ window specs.
        LASTSTARTDATE   LIKE TBTCJOB-LASTSTRTDT,
        LASTSTARTTIME   LIKE TBTCJOB-LASTSTRTTM,
        JOB_RELEASED    LIKE BTCH0000-CHAR1.   “ JOB_CLOSE: Was
                                               “ job released?   
*
* The data structures used by background jobs are:
* TBTCJOB:    Job definition
* TBTCSTRT:   Job start time (with function module
*             BP_START_DATE_EDITOR)
*
* In any production job-scheduling program, you should call
* GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to specify printing and archiving 
* parameters. See Obtaining Printing and Archiving Specifications
*
* The following printing and archiving tables are
* used by background jobs.
* PRI_PARAMS: Printing options
* ARC_PARAMS: Archiving options
*
* Structure for print parameters
*
  DATA USER_PRINT_PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS.
*
* Structure for optical archiving parameters
*
  DATA USER_ARC_PARAMS LIKE ARC_PARAMS.
*
* Additional printing/archiving declarations
*
  DATA:         COUNT(3) TYPE N VALUE 1,
                VALID    TYPE C.

* GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS:  As coded, presents the user with the
* standard SAP popup window for collecting printer and optical
* archiving specifications.  You can export default values for
* printing and archiving options.  These values are presented as
* defaults in interactive mode or can be written directly into
* the parameter structures in non-interactive mode.  Use the
* IMPORTING OUT* parameters to pass the printing and archiving
* specifications to JOB_SUBMIT or ABAP SUBMIT.
