alternative for GUI_GET_REGVALUE ??

[Former Member]

I noticed that GUI_GET_REGVALUE is set to obsolete.

so I try to avoid using this function if there is an alternative at hand.

I only have the problem that when I use the registry_get_value in a programm which controls the printpreview from me22n that I het the exception cntl_error.

If I use the same code in a small sample program that stands on its own then the code works perfectly and returns the path I want.

is there a way to make this method work inside a sap programm or do I have to use the obsolete function GUI_GET_REGVALUE

in these cases ??

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value
  EXPORTING
    root                 =  '1'
    key                  =  'Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\LocalData'
    value                =  'DataPath'
   IMPORTING
    reg_value            = h_pad
  EXCEPTIONS
    get_regvalue_failed  = 1
    cntl_error           = 2
    error_no_gui         = 3
    not_supported_by_gui = 4
    others               = 5
        .
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
