If you need to check if a function module within your program try running the following function: RH_FUNCTION_EXIST.

ABAP cancelling an SD Billing Document

maxtmax — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 17:49:15 +0000

If you have access to a billing document number try executing the following function:

DATA: l_rtrn TYPE bapireturn1 OCCURS 0.
DATA: l_succ TYPE bapivbrksuccess OCCURS 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CANCEL1'
              EXPORTING
                billingdocument       =
*               testrun               =
*               no_commit             =
                billingdate           = sy-datum
              TABLES
                return                = l_rtrn
                success               = l_succ.

This should create a cancellation document.

ABAP: execute OS level command

maxtmax — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 16:13:24 +0000

There are many things that one can do to execute a command in an Operating System from an ABAP report. I’ll explain one method that one can take to accomplish this.

Using transactions SM49 and SM69 set up and test a new OS command that you wish to execute. For the purposes of this post I’ve set up an executable command ZSAPCAR32.
When I was setting up the new command I’ve selected the option to add additional parameters to the command.
Once tested and satisfied you can add a new function module [SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE] to your report that will call preset executable command.

data: g_rlog                TYPE btcxpm OCCURS 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'
       EXPORTING
            commandname                   = 'ZSAPCAR32'
            additional_parameters         = 
            operatingsystem               = 
       TABLES
            exec_protocol                 = g_rlog
       EXCEPTIONS
            no_permission                 = 1
            command_not_found             = 2
            parameters_too_long           = 3
            security_risk                 = 4
            wrong_check_call_interface    = 5
            program_start_error           = 6
            program_termination_error     = 7
            x_error                       = 8
            parameter_expected            = 9
            too_many_parameters           = 10
            illegal_command               = 11
            wrong_asynchronous_parameters = 12
            cant_enq_tbtco_entry          = 13
            jobcount_generation_error     = 14
            OTHERS                        = 15.

if sy-subrc eq 0.
    LOOP AT g_rlog INTO g_warlog.
*     display command output
      write g_warlog.
    ENDLOOP.
endif.

The above code will execute your OS command and display the results.

ABAP: load file using pop-up window

maxtmax — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:00:42 +0000

When writing a program the simplest way to load a file from your client PC in to the server SAP syste is through a use of a regular text box. But if you want to get a little fancier try using the following function:

data: l_select TYPE sapb-sappfad.

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_FILENAME_GET'
       EXPORTING
            def_filename     = l_select
            def_path         = ' '
            mask             = ',*.*,*.*.'
            mode             = 'O'
            title            = 'Select filename to OPEN'(f05)
       IMPORTING
            filename         = l_select
       EXCEPTIONS
            selection_cancel = 1
            selection_error  = 2
            OTHERS           = 3.

This function will open up a pop-up window [standard to windows] allowing the user to select a file somewhere on their local comptuer.
