Hi,

Using SU21 u can create Authorisation Object.

Details to give an authorisation for ABAP PROGRAMS

The smallest unit against which the check should be run is the authorization

field.

The ABAP command AUTHORITY-CHECK is used for performing authorizaton checks

in programs. Before accessing the database the user should carry out an

authorization check which is implemented in the ABAP program. The

AUTHORITY-CHECK statement first checks if the user has the authorization

containing all the required values. Then the code value in the system field

SY-SUBRC is checked. If the required value is available for each

authorization field, the check is successful (SY-SUBRC = 0). If the value is

not 0, then the check is unsuccessful, which means that the user does not

possess the required authorization and an error message will be displayed.

AUTHORITY-CHECK sets SY-SUBRC to 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 28, 32 or 36 depending on

the cause of the authorization failure, e.g. return code 4 means that the

user does not have the required authorization; SY-SUBRC = 8 means that the

check could not successfully be carried out since not all fields of the

object were specified. The field SUBRC is in the APAB Dictionary SYST. To

address the system field in an ABAP program, the form SY-<fieldname> is

used.

The ABAP syntax of the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement is:

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT '<object>' (which created by you in SU21)

ID '<name1>' FIELD <f1> (fields given in Authorisation object)

???????????

ID '<name10>' FIELD <f10>.

Where <object> is the name of the authorization object that has to be

checked, <name1>,..., <name10> are the authorization fields in the object,

and <f1>,... ,<f10> are the values for which the authorization is to be

checked. If after the field name is entered DUMMY, the check for a

particular field will not be carried out.

Note: Keywords and options of statements are uppercase. Each statement ends

with a period or U can consult with ur ABAP consultant regarding

authority-check syntax.
