Description

The JOB_NAME_PATTERN option specifies a character pattern that is used to locate the header record and determine the offset of the job name 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_NAME_PATTERN based on the value of the SAP job step language parameter being used.
