Open URL from SAP GUI

[Former Member]

Hi,

I create Business Contacts with BAPI_BCONTACT_CREATEFROMDATA from an external application.

Is it possible to add a URL to this contact, that can be opened from the SAP GUI?

Our customer uses the native windows sap gui. The browser should open and load the

URL if you click on the it.

Any hints how this could be done?

  EXPORTING
    document               = 'http://www.sap.com'
    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.
* Implement suitable error handling here
ENDIF.

Hello,

there is a function module CALL_BROWSER, which internally pretty much does what Sukai posted.

Hi,

You can create a role and add an URL to it's menu. There are a number of different types of URLs offered. The URL menu item is under "Other".
