calling AL11 transaction inside a report program

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a requirement where in my report program should call AL11 transaction based on the button click.

i tried using Submit rswatch0 and return, but it is not opening the AL11 directory.

Please guide me.

Thanks in Advance.

Try with function module ALINK_CALL_TRANSACTION or any other function module which is used for transaction code execute.

Might be there is a problem with authority check. Use function module with transaction execute and authority check.

Hi.

Did you already try the following command?

Call transaction 'AL11'.

Hi Andreas,

I have tried but its not opening the folder directory.

[former_member182805]

Whats the folder directory?

[former_member183045]

With folder directory you mean the ALV list of key (DIR_...) and values (path of directory), right?

Are you working with dynpro and PAI event as suggested below?

Maybe the best solution path is if you set a break-point at the "CALL statement" to see if it is called like suggested below and/or evaluate the return code of the statement.

I'm working on normal Report program In the Alv output there is a field, if i click that field it should trigger AL11 transaction. i have created a hotspot for the field. Now how to trigger AL11.  i tried using submit statement and even with call transaction, but none of them are triggering the AL11 FOLDER DIRECTORY.

THIS IS MY OUTPUT  : for eg

FIELD1

--------------------------

/interfacesXI/EXCEL_UPLOAD

/interfacesXI/sap

/interfacesXI/sap1

/interfacesXI/dataloads

/interfacesXI/inbound

/interfacesXI/outbound

/interfacesXI/

In the above alv output, if i click the respective link, it has to take me to that repective Al11 FOLDER.

In the PAI module in your module pool program, check the value of the Function code for the button and enter the code

IF FCODE = X.

Call transaction AL11.

ENDIF.

Set a break-point on the SUBMIT statement, test you program, do you actually execute the statement?

I executed the statement. Its not opening the AL11 directory

[RaymondGiuseppi]

What happen when you execute AL11 from SAP menu, authorization problem, could you execute SU53?

Hint: If your actual question was how to display a specific directory, try toad following code before calling AL11 or RSWATCH0

EXPORT
  p1 = list_filename
  p2 = file_list-dirname
  p3 = file_list-name
  TO MEMORY ID 'RSWATCH0'.

Hi Saikanth,

This can be acheived by calling a system function . The below are system functions to read files from the AL11 directory :-

    Call 'C_DIR_READ_FINISH'
       id 'ERRNO'  field p1
       id 'ERRMSG' field p2

call 'C_DIR_READ_START' id 'DIR'    field dir_name
                           id 'FILE'   field a_generic_name
                           id 'ERRNO'  field file-errno
                           id 'ERRMSG' field file

call 'C_DIR_READ_NEXT'
       id 'TYPE'   field file-type
       id 'NAME'   field file-name
       id 'LEN'    field file-len
       id 'OWNER'  field file-owner
       id 'MTIME'  field file-mtime
       id 'MODE'   field file-mode
       id 'ERRNO'  field file-errno
       id 'ERRMSG' field file-errmsg.

call 'C_DIR_READ_FINISH'
       id 'ERRNO'  field file_list-errno
       id 'ERRMSG' field file_list-errmsg.

I know you want to develop a solution on the AL11, but you've got to look at this open source project ?!
