Sometimes, it is required to know the underlying ABAP program name for a background job.
This can be identified as shown below:


Goto SM37 transaction code. It will result in below screen. Please input job name for which you would like to know the underlying ABAP program.





After selecting necessary job status, click on execute which results in below screen





Double click on the above job name to display job details as shown below








Click on step icon (highlighted) which shows the step list overview (as shown in below screen)






Highlighted item is the underlying program name/command.
Parameters is the variant for that program and User is the “user id” with which this job will be executed.

Note: Sometimes, we can view multiple programs as steps based on the Job definition done. In other words, a job can have multiple programs or commands as steps
