Calling a transaction with parameter

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to call a transaction and the pass the paramter with the values. There are three paramters in the Transaction screen AGR,WRK,AAT. I want to pass the value from my program to the transaction.

DATA: l_WORKCENTER LIKE CRHD-ARBPL VALUE '10984A3',

l_PLANT LIKE CRHD-WERKS VALUE 'ECES',

l_ORDERTYPE LIKE CYAUKO-AUART VALUE 'G080'.

SET PARAMETER ID 'AGR' FIELD l_WORKCENTER.

SET PARAMETER ID 'WRK' FIELD l_PLANT.

SET PARAMETER ID 'AAT' FIELD l_ORDERTYPE.

CALL TRANSACTION 'CM24'.

Is this the correct way? It didn't work.

Problem is the third parameter 'AAT' doesn't get populated in the screen. The screen development is not in my hand.

How to check that whether the paramter is set for that text field? so that i can suggest the CM24 screen Developer. I think he didn't get the paramter for that input field.

I hope you guys have CM24 in your system?

Thank you

To check if the fields are being populated correctly, remove the 'SKIP FIRST SCREEN'. Also I presume the following line

DATA: l_WORKCENTER LIKE CRHD-ARBPL '1087456',

should be

DATA: l_WORKCENTER LIKE CRHD-ARBPL VALUE '1087456',

Hi,

The logic and the syntax seem to be true except the first line. It should be

DATA: l_WORKCENTER LIKE CRHD-ARBPL <b>VALUE</b> '1087456',

But I guess the problem is not this. So what problem do you encounter?

Hi Arun

While you are at the first screen of "CM24" and the cursor is on the field to which "i_ordertype" will be passed, press F1 and then F9 (if you use performance assistant press the button with hammer and monkeywrench after pressing F1). In the popup screen there should be a box where the parameter ID is written. Check whether it is the same as yours ('AAT').

Hope they are not the same.

It's now bed time here... Hope you can handle it anyway...

Hi Arun,

Since CM24 is a report-transaction you may try

Submit RCCRY000 with parameters (use Pattern, other Pattern, SUBMIT)

Hi Arun,

I don't see ordertype in 4.7 system transaction CM24. What system are you on right now?

Hi serder,

I am working on 47.

I found this parameterID from F1 help. The three parameter IDs are exactly the same AGR,WRK,AAT. The values are passed to the other two. But for the third one the value is not passed.

I want to understand about parameter ID, Is that the same Parameter ID set for the InputBox in the screen or it is been explicitly defined.

Because the other developer would have not assigned the parameter to the Inputbox.

How do i find this ParameterID definition?

one more doubt, In that screen There are two inputbox for each selection from value and to value which are named something like AFKAUART-LOW and AFKAUART-HIGH, Both of them has the same ParameterID. This really confuses me. I though One ParameterID is assigned to only one inputbox.If it is assigned to more inputboxes then all of them should get the value. Can someone clear this doubt?

Thank you

I did not find AAT parameter id in CM24 in 4.7. Anyway sometimes you cannot rely on the parameter id obtained from F1. In some cases (e.g. sales document transactions) SAP uses tricky parameter id evaluation in PBO logic. So, you might want to take a look into source code of the transaction. Maybe it would be clarified.

Hi Arun,

Parameter ids in txn CM24 is defined in the reference field of the select-options field. For example, Work Center use data element of field ARBPL of table CRHD because the screen select-options field refer to CRHD-ARBPL. So the selection field has parameter id AGR just like in DDIC field CRHD-ARBPL refered to. To look at parameter id list, do SM30 on table TPARA.

Hi Arun

I think, as Viktor has recommended, submitting the report seems as a proper solution.

e.g.

From the selection screen, after finding out what <par1>, <par2>, and <par3> are:

<b>SUBMIT RCCRY000

WITH <par1> EQ l_WORKCENTER

WITH <par2> EQ l_PLANT

WITH <par3> EQ l_ORDERTYPE .</b>

However, if you still want to use call transaction method, try to find proper parameter IDs as Nablan explained. As previous contributors told, I couldn't figure out any parameters on the screen having parameter ID 'AAT', either.

There were ;

AGR --> Work Center

WRK --> Plant

CAA --> Capacity category

CAP --> individual capacity

PER --> Personel number

Otherwise, your syntax and logic of transaction call is correct.

Hi,

Thanks guys anyhow this is the problem with the CM24 screen.

Anyhow i need to use Call Transaction. Because i want to call this transaction inside an workflow method. I want this screen to be pre-populated and once i call the workflow method. But right now i am checking it from an SE38 program stub.

I want to know any other way to find out the paramter assigned to a field. Should i go into the screen level PBO/PAI logic.

Is that recommended? or any other way

Thank you

If you want to know what parameter ids currently used by a transaction, run that transaction in debugging mode. Then click on pulldown Goto->System Area->SAP Memory. You will see what parameter ids are used at that moment.

Hi,

After setting the parameters , why not trying getting the parameters (Only for testing ), if really your parameters are being loaded properly or not

Hi Arun,

It is not necessary that you use only call transaction for workflow. It is perfectly alright to use Submit report. Will the task be called in foreground or background?

Cheers,

Ramki.
