Environment wide setting / parameter for ABAP program.

Hi,

We have a program distributed via Transport. The program currently requires input from the executing user to control where files are produced on the App Server / Network Drive, which really should be controlled centrally by the environment's BASIS team.

Where Path Validation exists (TCODE: FILE) within the environment (BASIS 730 or later), this does apply a restriction where files can be created (great!). However, this option is not available on an environment that runs BASIS 700.

Is there an option within SAP where an environment level parameter can be managed by the BASIS team which can be read within ABAP? This would thereby enable the BASIS team to manage this setting (lower risk) and not the user (higher risk).

Ideally, releasing new transports would not override this "environment setting", so updates can be easily pushed out across environments.

Have found the User Parameters capability, but this is at the user level rather than environment level. Should also note, trying to avoid creating a table to hold this setting, unless SAP doesn't have this environmental parameter capability.

Thanks,
Jay 🙂
