Description

The JOB_ID_PATTERN option specifies the character pattern used to locate the header record and determine the offset of the job id in the RSBDCSUB batch input processing report.

The format of the RSBDCSUB report is somewhat dependant on the language parameter for the job step that executes it. Therefore, it may be necessary to adjust the character pattern specified by JOB_ID_PATTERN based on the value of the SAP job step language parameter being used.
