Local User

[Former Member]

Hi!

I need to get the local User information from the client workstation - who is signed on at the client. Is there an ABAP-function available which reads the local user-id.

Thanks for your help!

You can try

TH_USER_LIST

It returns a table of the user currently logged into the client.

Also

DATA: RETURN TYPE TABLE OF BAPIRET2,
      user_data TYPE BAPIADDR3.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL'
  EXPORTING
    USERNAME = SY-UNAME
  IMPORTING
    ADDRESS  = user_data
  TABLES
    RETURN   = return.

Hi Thomas,

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES->GET_USER_NAME

Hi Andreas!

I tried the Method GET_USER_NAME --> without a result. sy-subrc = 0 but the returnvalue doesn't contain the login-user.

Any Idea ??

Typically the user that is login is kept in the value SY-UNAME in ABAP and BSP at least it is the right value.

Hi Thomas,

Are you looking for user id that login into SAP or user id that login into your PC?

I'm looking for the user ID logged in into my PC. No SAP-User !!

Hi Thomas,

sorry for my first reply:

I've not tested the method before posting -

the method works but without result...

here's another solution - that works <b>with</b> result

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_GET_DESKTOP_INFO'

EXPORTING

TYPE = 5

CHANGING

RETURN = name.

Did you flush after the call to get_user_name? You have to call cl_gui_cfw=>flush( ) after most calls to the frontend services class. The following code sample might help explain:

REPORT  yes_tjung_flush_test                                        .

DATA: username TYPE string.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>get_user_name
  CHANGING
    user_name            = username
  EXCEPTIONS
    cntl_error           = 1
    error_no_gui         = 2
    not_supported_by_gui = 3
    OTHERS               = 4.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.

WRITE: / 'Test1', username.

cl_gui_cfw=>flush( ).

WRITE: / 'Test2', username.
