How to call an URL from ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

When an user clicks on a document display link in a SAP tranasction(for example FB02),an URL has to be called in the background(by ABAP) and the details of the URL should be displayed in a browser.

What are the possilbe options available in SAP4.7 to meet the above requirement?

Thanks in advance,

hi,

you can use call browser function

data url(200) type c.

url = 'your_url'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CALL_BROWSER'

EXPORTING

URL = url

• WINDOW_NAME = ' '

• NEW_WINDOW = ' '

• BROWSER_TYPE =

• CONTEXTSTRING =

• EXCEPTIONS

• FRONTEND_NOT_SUPPORTED = 1

• FRONTEND_ERROR = 2

• PROG_NOT_FOUND = 3

• NO_BATCH = 4

• UNSPECIFIED_ERROR = 5

• OTHERS = 6

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

for this you have to enable SSO on your server.

hope this helps you, else revert back.
