Hi,

I am getting sy-subrc = 2 when I am executing FREE OBJECT command for OLE objects. SAP help says sy-subrc is set to 2 when there is an error during function call in SAPgui. But I couldnt find out what I am doing wrong in the program. Can someone help me out.

Regards,

Sajith.

SAP documentation says:

<b>The OLE function modules are only implemented under Windows.</b>

So make sure you are working with a windows object like Excel or WinWord for example. The FREE OBJECT will only work for Windows applications.

SAP Doco. (Example)

FREE OBJECT belongs to a group of key words that allows you to process external objects with ABAP. At present, only the object model OLE2 is supported, i.e. all objects must be of type OLE2_OBJECT. This type and other necessary data are defined in the INCLUDE module OLE2INCL.

Release an EXCEL object:

<b>

INCLUDE OLE2INCL.

DATA: EXCEL TYPE OLE2_OBJECT.

CREATE OBJECT EXCEL 'Excel.Application'.

FREE OBJECT EXCEL.

</b>
