This module is obsolete. Use the appropriate module from the functiongroup SFES. Any (non-SAP) program (for example, editor, table calculation, etc.)can be started on the presentation server. NOT USED ANYMORE Working directory for the program that has been started. Example: You want to start the program Excel with the file 'DEMO.XLS', which isin the directory 'C:/PRIV/XLS'. Excel itself is installed in the path. PROGRAM = 'EXCEL' COMMANDLINE = 'C:/PRIV/XLS/DEMO.XLS' As with all other SAP graphics modules, however it is notdifferentiated whether data should be sent. No data can be sent to anexternal program. The data must first be transported out of the SAPSystem by calling the function module 'WS_DOWNLOAD'. If INFORM <> SPACE, the ABAP program waits until the external programhas finished. Example 1: The program Excel is to be started. Excel is installed inthe path on the presentation server. Required parameter provision: PROGRAM = 'EXCEL' Example 2: The program XY is to be started, however it is not in thepath. XY is installed under '/usr/priv'. Required parameter provision: PRGRAMM = '/usr/priv/XY' The use of upper/lower case letters is relevant for the program namesand the path. As with all other SAP Graphics modules, however it is notdifferentiated whether the data should be sent. No data can be sent toan external program. It must first be transported out of the SAP Systemby calling the function module 'WS_DOWNLOAD'. An external program, which is to send a message to the ABAP whenfinished, must give an ID in order to recognize the program that hasbeen ended upon completion. (Important when several programs have beenstarted, or when an external program is started when mixed with'normal' graphics programs). If no WINID is specified then the programname is used. |
