set/get parameter not working

Former Member — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 16:36:51 GMT

Hi all

I have two custom transaction and want frist to call second. I have to use CALL TRANSACTION so cannot avoid using submit report. Second transaction has a parameter in selection screen I want to skip, so I would like to use statements

SET PARAMETER ID 'CUST_PARA' FIELD  value.
CALL TRANSACTION 'TRANSACTION' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.

but, parameter is custom with custom data type and I don't know what to put in CUST_PARA: for standard transaction with F1->technical settings I usually find the parameter name to set. But this is a standard tcode with custom data type and parameter is not present.

I see for creating it, I have to create it in TPARA (using SM30) and then add parameter id in data type of the parameter on the selection screen. But still doesn't work.

What am I missing?

thanks and regards

Gabriele

they are both custom: Z transaction and also parameter has a Z type. Even CUST_PARA is custom, being associated to custom parameter.
