User prompt on program execution...

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I run a job in batch that executes tcode SM01 as a BDC to lock a set of transactions. I have users that try to execute these tcodes while the tcodes are locked which confuses them as the only prompt they receive is in the left bottom corner of the window...the message states the tcode is locked I want to display a prompt to my users to let them know why the tcode is locked. Probably a bunch of ways to tackle this...I was thinking adding a subroutine to send an email to the user population when the locks are set and unset. Or...maybe basis can configure something to display a message when a certain locked tcode is run? Any other thoughts? I want to do something that can be automated...

thanks,

Mat

Basis option sounds more appropriate to me if they can some how pop out a message when users login to SAP - this message should be for only users with access to the concerned tcodes

User exit - which ever program/rountine SAP is using to determine that a transaction is locked - see if you can find a user exit before or after and try to give a message of your own. I am not sure if you can find a user exit for this purpose but worth a try. If its a new system then implicit enhancements can be checked.
