FM Object Exists

Former Member — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 18:46:32 GMT

Hi guys,

Is there a function module that checks if a PD (O, S, C) object exists based on its short text?

Thanks,

Hi Naren,

I am creating PD objects and using special names in the short text of these objects. I want to check if I am not recreating an existing object by checking the short text as I dont have any other way of testing it.

I hope it makes sense

Thanks,

~Mark

I couldn't find any function modules that seemed to fit what you're looking for. I haven't tried this, but I wonder if you might be able to do a select directly from the table. Something along these lines perhaps:

SELECT objid INTO wa_objid FROM HRP1000 WHERE STEXT CS 'insert special wording here'.

ws_found = 'X'.

ENDSELECT.

This would search for whatever string of special wording you put between the apostrophes. I haven't worked much with infotype 1000, so I'm not sure if this is possible. But maybe it will help

I would agree with April.. a small correction to the SELECT though..

data: w_text(4) value 'TEST',

w_objid type objid.

SELECT objid INTO wa_objid up to 1 rows

FROM HRP1000 WHERE STEXT like w_text.

ENDSELECT.

if sy-subrc eq 0 .

Object laredy exists.

endif.

Are you looking for something like RH_GET_OTYPE_TEXT which gives you the text of a object type that you can compare with your text?
