<p class="MsoNormal">If I were you I would go back to your ABAP programmer & get them to run the program in background (ie set up a little batch job) using a userid of the same type as WF-BATCH. I'm betting their background test might have been done using
their own userid as the executing user ...which isn't a true test of backgroundicity ;)<o:p></o:p></p>
