What is a Wrapper Program?

Former Member — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 21:39:22 GMT

Can somebody explain me what can I do with a wrapper program?

I think is like a program with a copy of the first screen, in which I can make validations, authority checks, etc, and at the end I have to pass values for the parameters, selection-options, etc to run the original program used by the standard transaction.... Can I do something else with a wrapper program? What else can I copy from the standard program, or is just the screen?

A wrapper program is simply a program that runs another program. You don't need to include the original screen because you may be able to simplify it. You may or may not want to do some of the validations that are done in the submitted program.

the scenario how I used wrapper long back is...

I have a FM which is not RFC enabled...but I need the same FM to work like an RFC to open the it in a new task..

so I created a Z_rfc_wrapper and used the Ordinary FM in the code of the RFC enabled FM.

A Wrapper program is simply a program which may come into picture when processing needs to be done on the data obtained from standard program.
