User Popup Message - CALL 'ThUsrInfo' ID 'OPCODE'

michael_fallenbchel — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 12:30:04 GMT

Hi experts,

I'm playing around with popup messages.

I know function TH_POPUP - everyting's working and fine.

Now I want to do this "part of coding" in my own program - then I can change the text of the popup a little bit.

What I am doing:

REPORT  ztest_user_popup.
INCLUDE tskhincl.
DATA: client LIKE sy-mandt,
          user LIKE sy-uname,
          new_message(512),
          message_len LIKE sy-index,
          loc_cut_blanks  TYPE x VALUE 0.
 new_message = 'TEST'.
 client = sy-mandt.
 user = sy-uname
 message_len = STRLEN( new_message ).
 loc_cut_blanks = 0.
 CALL 'ThUsrInfo' ID 'OPCODE' FIELD opcode_send_pop_up     "#EC CI_CCALL
       ID 'CLIENT' FIELD client
       ID 'USR' FIELD user
       ID 'MSG' FIELD new_message
       ID 'MSG_LEN' FIELD message_len
       ID 'CUT_BLANKS' FIELD loc_cut_blanks.
BREAK-POINT.

Problem is - nothing is happening! At the break-point at the end, sy-subrc = 1.

What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks

Michael

Hi,

May be this thread would help you.

Hi Arindam,

no, it's not helpful. I already read this thread, I also tried to copy the program - same result.

I don't know what's the difference between calling the function and doing the program logic directly in my own program. I have absolut the same variables, the same values also...but I don't get any popup, always sy-subrc = 1.

Officially, these kernel calls are for SAP internal use only. I could well imagine that the underlying procedure checks the call stack or some sort of interface "footprint" and exits right away when not called from a standard function module like TH_POPUP.

The message text is part of the function module interface, so I don't understand why you need to re-create this yourself.

Hi,

I think the best would be to compare the steps with the FM code. Is it failing authorization or some exception that's not happening in the FM. Sometimes users don't have authorization. Try using FM AUTHORITY_CHECK_C_FUNCTION.

Very easy why I want to do it by myself:

Inthe functino, my message get's concatenatet with some text from T100 ("Message from user &1: &2").

i want to have my own text here - something like "Mesagge from Helpdesk - Pls answer your tickets".

Sure I can change table T100 - But that's not the correct way.

So I tried to create my own function/program to send the message I want to have...

The call stack can be the cause - but then it's very interesting to know how the program in the linked thread from Arindam is working 🙂

Any ideas? Or someone has done this also.

I copied the function TH_POPUP no to ZTH_POPUP.

Same result - isn't working (sy-subrc = 1).

Can't be a problem with authorisations - as the standrad funtion is working with my user...I think Thomas is right with some checks "in the background" again functino group/function name/...

It is very tempting to play with these TH_-function modules and underlying kernel calls, I have done my own share of this.

However it remains intended only for SAP-internal use, there is almost no public documentation for it, so I'm afraid nobody will be able to tell you why this particular self-made call does not work, as opposed to others, unless there is an obvious mistake like incorrectly declared variables or so.

Hi,

Are you not missing the OPCODE value..

DATA: OPCODE_SEND_POP_UP(1) TYPE X VALUE 31.

No - it's declared in include tskhincl 🙂

Maybe there's no way to make my popup "look like I want"

Hi,

This might be the missing Authority check in your code that is causing the issue:

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_ADMI_FCD'
                  ID 'S_ADMI_FCD' FIELD 'POPU'.
         IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
           RAISE USER_NOT_FOUND.
         ENDIF.

Just use SET LOCALE LANGUAGE statement, before call 'TH_POPUP' and set the language that doesn't exist in T100

Try to use exact same field definitions than the FM (e.g. message field length = 128 and not 512)

(Also insure you include TSKHINCL in your report for constants)
