Hi
Not the most important thing in the world, probably comes somewhere between sweeping up the leaves and shovelling snow...
Found in the perfomance assistant after accidently hitting F1:
-- Command field --
You can execute the following commands in this field with Enter:
in the same session (window), whereby the initial screen is skipped.
Enter: /*xxxx (xxxx = transaction code).
Anybody ever use this and would it bypass an authority-check?
Cheers
David

Hi Raghu
Neither - hit F1 in the Command field and those are also listed and I' used them but this /* was a bit of a surprise.
May not be present in younger systems (I'm on 4.6C)
Kind regards

Hi,
I am using ECC, but can't include /* with any tcode to bypass. If it is possible, may be we will start a new revolution in Security area

Hi
Using /* just bypasses the first screen of a transaction (much the same as CALL TRANSACTION... AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN does). No security checks are bypassed and for it to work any required fields must be populated by SPA/GPA parameters.

Hi Michael-John

Good one - thank you!
Kind regards

A difference to CALL TRANSACTION AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN is that it does not issue an explicit commit and does not actually process the first selection screen either.
What it does is that it handles all messages in the screens thereby effectively hitting "Enter" until the screenflow stops and an execute is needed.
You can observe this behaviour by starting transaction OBY7 as an example and comparing that to starting /*OBY7 --> the popups don't appear.
Cheers and thanks for the support to boycott the ponits system.

Ah! I see what you mean, maybe created by the same person who created transaction n
