If you have a URL, you can pass that to exporting parameter URL

CALL FUNCTION 'CALL_BROWSER'

EXPORTING

URL = 'www.yahoo.com'

WINDOW_NAME = ' '

NEW_WINDOW = 'X'

BROWSER_TYPE =
CONTEXTSTRING =

EXCEPTIONS

FRONTEND_NOT_SUPPORTED = 1

FRONTEND_ERROR = 2

PROG_NOT_FOUND = 3

NO_BATCH = 4

UNSPECIFIED_ERROR = 5

OTHERS = 6.

Regards,

Ravi

define one macro like this

  DEFINE add_html.
    YT_HTML = &1.
    APPEND YT_HTML.

  END-OF-DEFINITION.


and you can pass the data to be converted

add_html '<HTML>'.
  add_html '<head>'.
  add_html '<title>'.
  add_html 'ABAP Code'.
  add_html ' View :'.
  add_html GV_PROG_NAME.
  add_html '</title>'.
  add_html ' '.
  add_html '<meta name="description"'.
  add_html ' content="'.
  add_html P_DESC.
  add_html '">'.
  add_html '<meta name="keywords"'.
  add_html 'content="' .
  add_html 'www.rmtiwari.com,ABAP Code WebViewer,ABAP Code,'.
  add_html P_KEYW .
  add_html '">'.

  add_html '<link type="text/css">'.
  add_html '</head>'.
  add_html '<BODY>'.
  add_html '<pre><code>'.


and pass the html filename to  CALL_BROWSER  FM

I already have my code in a string - and it's no problem to write it

to a file, but I'm not sure if I can pass that file's path to a browser...

when I'm doing it - browser is looking for a file on a local machine,

not on a server - and I don't want to download and save that files

on my disc - it should open a file from a server - and I'm not sure if that's possible...
