Transaction (customized) calling an external program

Former Member — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:26:34 GMT

Hello Guru,

I am looking for a way to add a path specification somehow on the sap-Settings.

The problem that I'v defined a transaction called "ZDOO"

This Transaction call an external Program e.g. located there "c:\nothing\dummyprog.exe"

Because the Package where this transaction is defined, will be propagated and updated on different machines and on different clients.

The external program is no longer static and the change (path) must be specified by the user without having the authorization and the will to change any kind of hard-code.

In my case, if I add an option somehow on sap, so can the client change this option by specifing the new associated path of the external application.

Ps. If this unclear, please reply by specifing the uncleared part.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Kais

You can add a parameter, in user profile (SU3 Transaction), with that path, and read it in your app with get parameter statement.

Thanks Peluka,

How can I exactally define a parameter in my profile ? It's not implicitally allowed and it seems that there's a restriction on the length.

Also, how can I get the value on my ABAP program ?

Do you have some links so can I quickly find a solution.

Thanks for your help.
