Definition

Classification of a job step according to the type of program to be executed. The possible types are:

  • A: ABAP program
  • C: External command (External program or command that has been pre-defined in the SAP system. External commands allow definition-controlled, authorization-protected access to programs outside the SAP system.)
  • E: External program (Direct entry of the name of a program or command outside SAP, possible only with administrator authorizations).
