'SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR' on entire screen

[Former Member]

Hi All

I'm running a report with lots of progress indicators e.g. 'FTP Connecting to Server', 'FTP GET file ...', 'FTP CLOSE', 'Processing file ...' etc. It is intuitive and helpful, but I'd like a modal popup screen that continuously scrolls the messages. It would be pretty useful if the user can look at the job as a whole and not just one message at a time.

Does SAP provide a class/function module that already provides this functionality? Is it possible?

Thank you,

Adrian

if you search function modules (SE37) with PROGRESS, you'll find several.

[Former Member]

Oh really? Iu2019ve gone through them and none suite my requirement. Why donu2019t you read my post again and give me one of your 'several' solutions? Thanks, Adrian

I don't think Breakpoint was trying to give you a solution - just point you in the right direction.

Bear in mind that responders do not have to help. We are all volunteers.

If searching through SE37 and searching the internet provide no solution, you can assume that you will have to do it yourself.

Please update the forum when you do solve this.

Thank you Rob. And I'll definitely post a solution if I find one; I always do. I've had some amazing assistance from SDN users and always try to 'give back', but my motto remains 'no feedback is better than gibberish'

'no feedback is better than gibberish'

...implying that gibberish is the best feedback?

Thank you for your kind words, Adrian. You're so gracious.

Perhaps if you wait a little longer, someone will write a block of code for you, demonstrating how to repetitively calculate some degree of completion and call a specific FM, and you can copy and paste.

But, that will limit you to their little solution, won't it? Personally, I can't deal with that. I have to know that I researched what was available and found the best solution, or the solution my users like better than the rest, and that I have not replicated some crude, inefficient junk code handed down through a variety of copy-and-paste practitioners. But, I seem to be one strange duck. Maybe that's why, after 40 years, I'm still employed in IT?

BreakPoint, youu2019re quite entertaining. Thanks for trying to help. Hope to see you around for another 40 years OldTimer.

BreakPoint is one of our few very valuable contributors, your question is in the top 5% of the interesting and non-redundant scale, so would like to ask you both to now settle this and just concentrate on the professional facts around this particular issue.

Thanks
