You can use a webdynpro for that. If you point it to an random www-address you will get an new window with an error but the content of the URL. OK, not formatted but the content.

its basically a standard text. as far as i know you cannot have HTTP links. we explored to do this but couldnt come up with a solution so far.

<i><b>I understand i can maintain my own text at SAP GUI login screen</b></i>

you are right, you can do this. there is a OSS note available explaining how to do this. dont remeber the number right now. if youwant i can search for the number.

work around

create a program with a following code

report y_test .
CALL FUNCTION 'CALL_BROWSER'
 EXPORTING
   URL                          = 'http://www.google.com '
*   WINDOW_NAME                  = ' '
*   NEW_WINDOW                   = ' '
*   BROWSER_TYPE                 = BROWSER_TYPE
*   CONTEXTSTRING                = CONTEXTSTRING
* EXCEPTIONS
*   FRONTEND_NOT_SUPPORTED       = 1
*   FRONTEND_ERROR               = 2
*   PROG_NOT_FOUND               = 3
*   NO_BATCH                     = 4
*   UNSPECIFIED_ERROR            = 5
*   OTHERS                       = 6
          .
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

assign a transaction code to this program for example YTCODE.

now in the text editor go to insert link->

choose document class Transaction Link and in the next field end the transaction code and in the Name in document field enter the text for the link.

Hello Raja,

Did the same, but at the login screen it is showing the text

ex: <DS:TRAN.YTCODE>LINK</>.

Re: Hyper link

there should be something wrong. because the format of the link should be

<DS:TRAN.YTCODE>LINK and not with

<DS:TRAN.YTCODE>LINK</> and i guess that the reason that the system is not able to intepret it. to confirm this try just adding a link as explained to the program documentation and see whether you get the same problem.

Hello Raja,

Editor itself throws an error if we dont give the end of link ie </>, id id try that too but no luck!

One more intresting thing is i choose Document Class

as Link to transaction and skip first screen and give the same link.

it looks like this <DS:TRAS.ZCODE>code</> and try to see the Preview (Screen Output) It works fine and navigates me to the desired link.

However when i try open login login screen shows only

<DS:TRAS.ZCODE>code</> this as text, do i need to change any settinsg to get the login screen as different screen output (Like a web or something?)
