Enabling Select-options in an RFC function module

Former Member — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 08:30:00 GMT

Hi Abaper's,

I am using BAdi definition NOTIF_EVENT_SAVE for sending mail notification to user.

Under CHANGE_DATA_AT_SAVE method I have called an RFC enabled function module and written code here for mail notification.I used cl_bcs class for sending file.On executing this I am getting a mail box wherein we can enter user id and send mail.But I don't want to use cl_bcs for sending mail now.So I modified the code by including SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 function.

My requirement is I want to enable select-options in this function module so that user can get a popup wherein he can select user name from master.On activating I am getting following error:

Local SELECT-OPTIONS are not allowed (FORM routine or GET event is active).

Can any one help me how to resolve this error?

I am using this customized function module for mail notification.If I hardcode mail id,notification is working properly.

Regards,

Sam

Hi Sam,

in the function groups TOP include, you can define a selection-screen:

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 9786 [TITLE title].
select-options: s_uname for ...
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 9786.

and in the function use

CALL SELECTION-SCREEN dynnr
                      [STARTING AT col1 lin1
                      [ENDING   AT col2 lin2]]

Everything declared in the function body source code is local.

But you must make sure that CHANGE_DATA_AT_SAVE is not processed in update task.

Regards,

Clemens

Hi Clemens Li,

Thanx a lot for your input.Its working fine now.When I execute this function module I am getting a separate screen.When the user opens 6 screens already,my newl popup screen is not coming as system shows Maximum number of sessions opened.Can I overcome this problem?

Sam

Hi sam,

no, not really.

Do not worry: The average user will close every session after using it - just to open up again afterward.

You could catch the error, issue a message (TYPE S DISPLAY LIKE 'E') asking the user to close unused open session and try again in a loop.

Regards,

Clemens.
