How to copy a program by a program ?

Former Member — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:07:18 GMT

Hello .

I created a classic program: ZTEST (by se38). ( Inside there some easy line code ).

I want create ZTEST2 as a copy of ZTEST. I have to do it by another program. I mean that inside my program ZMAIN(for exemple) I want to put some code to create ZTEST2 as a copy of ZTEST.

Any idea ?

tks.

What? couldnt understand properly. .... post it clearly? You want to copy a program into another from custom program .... is it right?

if not , Just copy your zTEST to ZTEST2 and change it... if i understood correctly.

If yes, create a BDC on SE38 ..... may be

Hello,

I try to give more details:

I have a program: ZTEST.

I want a copy of ZTEST. I want name this copy ZTEST2.

I want to do this operation not by se38 -> copy, BUT by another program.

I mean that I need a command to use inside a program to create ZTEST2 by ZTEST!!!

Any idea ?

tks.

Try a combination of READ REPORT and INSERT REPORT statements.

What about debugging the standard SAP functionality of "Copy Program" ?

Hello,

You can have a look at the function module RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN.

You can integrate this routine in your program.

You can get the source code of the initial program with the function module RFC_READ_REPORT or with the ABAP statement READ REPORT INTO table.

Hello,

tks for you reply. I tried INSERT REPORT and I create a new report. Anyway I don't understand what kind of report I created:

On the property there's: D$S without data base ; if I delete it, the system ask me to create a chage request, but on creation not !!!

Do you give me more information!

Tks,

This should work much better, so please ignore my previous suggestion.
