External R/3 connection availability

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there a Function Module or way that will check the system status of an external r/3 system.

We are using calling an external R/3 system for pricing. If the system is down we get an Abend in our system. I want to check the connection prior to the call.

Thanks,

Thanks for your quick response..

This actually does not work and causes the system to abend.

I did find another FM that does serve my purpose..

Thanks,

Chris
