Check whether selection screen can be generated or not without generating a short dump

ec1 — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 01:28:07 GMT

Hi all,

I found function module 'REPS_OBJECT_GENERATE' to check whether selection screen can be generated for a given program or not.

If O_GEN_SUBRC value returned from the FM is not 0, it means that there is a problem with the program.

However, if the FM is called with passing program name with selection screen error, a short dump is logged in ST22. If I debug the FM, the short dump is logged by "GENERATE REPORT" command.

Is there any other way to check whether a program has a valid selection screen without logging a short dump?

We're using ECC 600 Netweaver 701.

Thank you in advance.

Are you not catching excepetion returned from FM?

   *" EXCEPTIONS
*"      SYNTAX_ERROR
*"      GENERATION_ERROR

Try to add the SHORTDUMP-ID option to the GENERATE REPORT statement.

There was no exception thrown by GENERATE REPORT but SY-SUBRC contains 16.

DATA: L_MESSAGE_GEN(40), L_WORD(10), L_LINE TYPE I.
DATA: P_REPORT LIKE RSVAR-REPORT.
data OREF type ref to CX_ROOT.
data TEXT type STRING.

P_REPORT = 'ZHR00007'. "Report with GEN_SELECTION_SCREEN_ERROR error

*CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS OTHERS = 8.

TRY.

    GENERATE REPORT P_REPORT MESSAGE L_MESSAGE_GEN
                                 LINE L_LINE WORD L_WORD.
CATCH CX_ROOT INTO OREF.
    TEXT = OREF->GET_TEXT( ).
ENDTRY.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
WRITE:/ 'TEST.'.
ELSE.
WRITE:/ 'Error'.
ENDIF.

I think the best approach is to let short dump logged in ST22 and get the shortdump id by using the option and let the user know about the short dump
