Opening MS Word Editor from ABAP Program

Former Member — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:29:06 GMT

Hi all,

My requirement is to give two options. User can open Text Editor OR MS Word Editor from screen. Text/any data entered on this will then be saved.

Can anyone help me regarding this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best Regards,

Prasad

Hi,

Where do you want data to be saved? In SAP or on a file server.

Hi,

You can use the method execute in CL_FRONTEND_SERVICES, and just pass the file name to the parameter document.

call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

exporting

document = 'c:\test.doc'.

Hi,

check SAPRDEMODOCUMENTCONTAINER and RSOLETT1 programs.

You can switch between word and text_editor in your code.

USE FM GUI_RUN. (this is obsolete though) 😛 😛

u can pass command = 'WINWORD' to this FM and this will trigger word.

u can use CL_GUI_frontend_services->execute as the same routine as above
