SAP Note 433137 - Batch input: Simulating background mode

Component : UI services, screen, batch input -

Summary :
When creating a batch input recording for background execution (e.g., batch jobs, "CALL TRANSACTION...USING..."), the transaction behaves differently than in foreground processing, leading to the error "Batch input data is not available for screen XXXXXXXX 9999". This occurs because the transaction records only support dialog processing fields and not the alternative fields displayed when SY-BATCH='X'. From SAP Release 6.20, the "Simulate Background Mode" feature in the transaction recorder allows recording fields specific to background processing. Users must ensure settings in transaction SM35 and BDC_INSERT reflect this mode to avoid errors in dialog use.
