AUTHORITY_CHECK

[Former Member]

Hi,

When i use AUTHORITY_CHECK. It dumps with the following message

Error analysis

Only message types A, E, I, W, S, and X are allowed.

How to correct the error

Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.

-

If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to

find an interim solution in an SAP Note.

If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following

keywords:

"MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN" " "

"" or ""

"%_SEL_SCREEN_O"

at selection-screen OUTPUT.

CALL FUNCTION 'AUTHORITY_CHECK'

EXPORTING

USER = SY-UNAME

OBJECT = 'S_PROGRAM'

FIELD1 = 'ACTVT'

• VALUE1 = ' '

EXCEPTIONS

USER_DONT_EXIST = 1

USER_IS_AUTHORIZED = 2

USER_NOT_AUTHORIZED = 3

USER_IS_LOCKED = 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.

>>>>> is the Error stmt.

Hi,

Try the below code

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_PROGRAM'

ID 'P_GROUP' FIELD 'MMDLMAT'

ID 'P_ACTION' FIELD 'SUBMIT'.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

MESSAGE 'User Has Authorization' TYPE 'S'.

ELSE.

MESSAGE 'User Has no authorization' TYPE 'E'.

ENDIF.

Refer the below documentation

Definition

Authorization to execute ABAP programs by program group.

You can assign authorizations by program group for the following

activities:

o Starting a program

o Scheduling a program to run as a background job

o Maintaining variants

Defined fields

The object consists of two fields:

o Authorization group ABAP program: Name of the program group that the

user is authorized to work with.

Programs that are not assigned to a program group can be started and

maintained by any user. The function does not support generic names.

o User action ABAP program: Permitted activities.

Possible values:

- SUBMIT: Start the program

- BTCSUBMIT: Schedule the program to run as a background job

- VARIANT: Maintain variants (The SUBMIT authorization is

necessary here as well, since programs are executed during

variant maintenance)

(The activity EDIT has been obsolete since Release 3.0. Authorizations

for attributes, text elements and ABAP utility functions are checked

using the S_DEVELOP object).

Example

This authorization allows a user to execute programs in the MMDLMAT

authorization group.

Field Value

Authorization group ABAP program MMDLMAT

User action ABAP program SUBMIT

Reward if found helpful.
