WS_EXECUTE - new fn Module

[Former Member]

Hi,

When I use WS_EXECUTE, abap says this Fn module is obsolete. Can somebody help me with the new version of WS_EXECUTE?

Thanks,

Yes, use this class/method.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
*  EXPORTING
*    document               =
*    application            =
*    parameter              =
*    default_directory      =
*    maximized              =
*    minimized              =
*    synchronous            =
*    operation              = 'OPEN'
*  EXCEPTIONS
*    cntl_error             = 1
*    error_no_gui           = 2
*    bad_parameter          = 3
*    file_not_found         = 4
*    path_not_found         = 5
*    file_extension_unknown = 6
*    error_execute_failed   = 7
*    synchronous_failed     = 8
*    not_supported_by_gui   = 9
*    others                 = 10
        .
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

Hi,

Thanks for all your help.

What all options can we give in operation - the default is OPEN, but actually I want just to check whether the URL is valid or not, if file or URL not found , give an error message. Can you please give me other options to OPERATION.

Let me know if u know any clarifications......

Thanks,

Sheel
