Cross-system functionality

Former Member — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:50:58 GMT

Hi all,

I have interesting request to implement cross-system functionality. As an example I specify HELP functionality. This functionality is at disposal over the system (cross-system) either in system menu or by pressing F1 button. I need to implement something simular. For example, I need to activate SHIFT+F1 (just an example) to be active in all transactions and after pressing to do desired functionality. Any ideas how to implement this? Is this ever possible?

Thank you in advance. <<text removed>>

My suggestion will be use "Favorites" Create a custom transaction and call the help functionality inside and assigned to "Favorites" . This can be download & upload to different landscape, without much work.

Hi, thanks for reply. Could you please describe it a little bit more? I don't know or I didn't understand how you think it should work. Many thanks ...

You can use the following function modules to call URL


CALL FUNCTION 'PRGN_GENER_EXECUTE_URL'
  EXPORTING
    NODE_DATA                   = 'http://www.google.com'
*   TARGET_SYSTEM               = ' '
*   LOGICAL_TARGET_SYSTEM       = ' '


  CALL FUNCTION 'CALL_BROWSER'
    EXPORTING
      url                    = url
    EXCEPTIONS
      frontend_not_supported = 1
      frontend_error         = 2
      prog_not_found         = 3
      no_batch               = 4
      unspecified_error      = 5
      OTHERS                 = 6.

Use these fm in a program and assign a transaction code and use this transaction code in "Favorites"

Well, I see, but this is not what I really need. With your solution I have these problems:

a) how do I assign a shortcut (for example SHIFT+F1) to launch transaction?

b) in my program and transaction, how do I find out the cursor position to display correct help page (context sensitive help)?

Hmm!!!

This will be an issue.

I don't find any other way..

1. Create a shortcut to favorites

2. calling search help according their cursor position.

Can you please open a new thread in "Abap General" you may get more results.
