Calling of other programs

Can we call other executable programs from SAP.
Eg:Can we call calculator of microsoft from SAP

This can be done through FM 'GUI_EXEC'
This function is only available for Windows 32 bit clients.
COMMAND and PARAMETER are combinde into a command line that must contain the name of a program and its corresponding parameters.
The function DOES NOT associate applications with file extensions.
Example
COMMAND = 'Notepad'
PARAMETER = 'c:\temp\test.txt'
or
COMMAND = 'Notepad c:\temp\test.txt'

Using 6.0.2 just updated, Firefox has stopped responding to web page calls from other programs such as Thunderbird. How can I fix this?

running Windows 7, Firefox 6.0.2 and Thunderbird 3.0.2

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

Programming to call other programs

I am in need of direction as I am unable to find any help on my current problem. I am developing a program that will create a database of triples from an xml document. My use of existing programs such as 4suite's '4rdf' which is called by the command prompt has left me with the issue of how do you program in java, to call other programs and/or the command line. I need to pass in arguments and execute the program from within one java program. Is this possible? Help is urgently required. Please help. Cheers Dave.

Allways happy to assist my follow programmers, this is a class I developed (with help from online documents of course) to contain all my executing needs. Note that you need to place these two classes in a package yourself, they are part of quite a complex one where I use them.

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

How to find the value of a variable in other program

How to find the value of a variable in other program say I am in a FM and this FM is being called in from other program and I want to know some of the variable details of the program from the FM itself. Imagine if this is a txn. and I need to know the details from some of the programs while executing the same transaction
Regards

Hi Vinayak,
     you will be having your first program values in internal table or some variables,
    when you are calling the second program you wii use like this,
    SUBMIT <Second Program Name> USING SELECTION-SCREEN '1000'
                       WITH s_emp(second program select-options)   IN t_emp(first program variables)
                       WITH p_chk   EQ t_chk
                       WITH p_r1    EQ t_r1
                       WITH p_month EQ t_month
                       WITH s_cust1 IN t_cust1
                       WITH p_r2    EQ t_r2
                       WITH s_cust2 IN t_cust2
                       WITH s_week IN t_week
                       AND RETURN.
you have pas like this to get your first program details.

Firewire DV output disconnects when I pop over to other programs

I am brand new to the Mac and brand new to Final Cut Studio, just bought both of them this month. I do After Effects animation and edit the animations with clients in the room, I've been using Premiere on a Windows laptop for years, and I've been told my workflow would benefit if I tried working on a Mac. Now that I'm on a MacBook Pro with Final Cut I've run into an issue.
Final Cut Pro 5.1.3 seems to be working fine, I'm editing DV video on my 2.33ghz Core2duo 15" MacBook Pro through Firewire to an ADVC DAC-100 analog/digital converter box, out S-Video to a 32" TV for the clients. However, once I pop over to another program, say Photoshop, After Effects, or the Finder, Final Cut's firewire connection is lost, and the TV turns purple, the default DAC-100 behavior when there is no firewire input. (It turns blue when I use my Canon ZR40 instead of the DAC-100.) Once I pop back over to Final Cut Pro, the firewire connection is re-established and my animations are back on the TV. I use several programs in conjunction with the video editor, and I need the firewire connection to remain on so the TV doesn't turn purple every time I jump back into After Effects, Photoshop, etc.
Final Cut Studio comes with 90 days support, so I called and Apple phone support told me that the way I have things set up is very uncommon and not supported. DV footage out to a Firewire device is not supported? Are you kidding me? The local Apple Store has several Geniuses with Final Cut Pro experience, they told me that the fact that FCP loses firewire connection when I change programs is "pretty much the nature of the beast". They recommended I use a DVI connector to output to S-Video out to the TV, but I'm already using my laptop's DVI to output to my 21 inch monitor, and I will NOT work from my 15" laptop display (or a 17" laptop display for that matter).
I called phone support again and they told me that if I had a Mac Pro I would have more options, but with a laptop my "special workflow" is not very well supported, unless I stay in Final Cut Pro and not switch programs over to Photoshop or anything else.
Here is why I feel like I am in the twilight zone: Premiere 6.5 in Windows automatically keeps firewire connection when I pop over to After Effects. Premiere Pro 2.0's default behavior is to lose firewire connection when switching to another program, but I simply unchecked the "Disable video output when Premiere Pro is in the background" checkbox to keep the connection when switching programs. Premiere has been able to do this for years, I have a VERY hard time believing that Final Cut Pro, which is regarded as the BEST video editing program, cannot maintain firewire output unless it is the "in focus" application. I have been through all the preferences, I can't find anything to alter this behavior.
If I cannot solve this problem with Final Cut Pro, I will need to find a DV/analog firewire box that defaults to BLACK instead of purple when firewire gets disconnected. Please let me know if anyone can tell me the solution to this, I have a VERY hard time believing that editing video on a MacBook Pro while monitoring on a TV through firewire is only supported if I don't pop over to any other programs.
Thanks in advance for the help, I am already $5,000 into this experiment of trying to do my animation work on a Mac and I will not be happy if I can't get things to work.

You're not losing firewire control when you switch over, you are losing the video playback. Even if you were viewing your canvas on your desktop you would still go back to a ragular screen when you switch apps. You would probably have to monkey with your external monitor to adjust how it responds to a lack of signal.

How to call a dialog program with return value in another dialog program

Dear All,
How can I call a dialog program with return value from another dialog program?
Regards,
Alok.

Hi Alok,
You can you SET/GET parameters to do this.
This is some information about this.
To fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program, you can use the SPA/GPA technique. SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs. A user can access the values stored in the SAP memory during one terminal session for all parallel sessions. Each SPA/GPA parameter is identified by a 20-character code. You can maintain them in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench. The values in SPA/GPA parameters are user-specific.
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETERstatements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f.
This statement saves the contents of field f under the ID pid in the SAP memory. The ID pid can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under pid, this statement overwrites it. If you double-click pid in the ABAP Editor, parameters that do not exist can be created as a Repository object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f.
This statement places the value stored under the pid ID into the variable f. If the system does not find any value for pid in the SAP memory, sy-subrc is set to 4. Otherwise, it sets the value to 0.
Thanks,
SriRatna

How to call a Dialog Program from another Dialog Program

Dear All,
How can I call a dialog program with return value from another dialog program?
Regards,
Alok.

Hi Alok,
1. Insted of creating 2 different Dialog program. It's good to create as many screens as you want in same module pool program. Any way you can use the different TCODE for each screen.
2. Another and The best way is to create a function group and then inside function group use the function 2 module... In the function group define a global variable which will be present for both the function group if they are getting executed in sequence. and inside the Function Module call the screens using command " call screen <screenno>".
3. You can use set / get parameter to pass values of a field between two dynpro program.

Presently when this block runs, i can see the new PO number created. Commit is also successfully executed. The last output for the program is
New Po is 20651
Quantity Is 450
But due to some reason, the receiving program(receive_po) cannot retrieve the same PO from the base table.
But once this pl/sql block is complete, and i call the receving procedure from a different session, the Po is retrieved and receiving against the PO is executed successfully.
Can someone please suggest a work around ? Is the code missing something ? Since POXPOPDOI is a concurrent program which is executed as an asyncronous process, the commit statement after the call to concurent program does not work but the commit is executed only after it exits the pl/sql block.

Thanks for responding.
receive_po() program just inserts the data into RCV_HEADERS_INTERFACE and RCV_TRANSACTIONS_INTERFACE tables based on the PO that is created in the previous step. So basically the new PO created has to be received and the receive_po() just inserts data into the interface tables so that RVCTP can be called after that for receiving.
Here is the code for the procedure.

How to call a concurrent program from a Custom JSP page.

Hi,
I have a custom JSP page which i have deployed by creating a form function with the path of the JSP Page
and added the JSP Page to the OA_HTML top.
Now, i need to call a concurrent program from the JSP Page, i have all the parameters in my page and i am using the standard class as below:
ConcurrentRequest cr= new ConcurrentRequest(con);
int requestId= cr.submitRequest("XXINV",programName,null,null,false,vec);
I have verified my connection object and it is OK but i am getting the exception that user is not set to run the program.
I tried the below code in my JSP page and getting -1 for all test variables :-
int userId = wctx.getUserId();
int respApplId = wctx.getRespApplId();
int respId = wctx.getRespId();
I think i need to set the context in JSP page to run the program..
Pls help ....
Regards
Saurabh Jaiswal

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,,,
This is a possible solution but this will allow to run the program anyhow.
But the procedure which i call thru callable statement will start with
fnd_global.apps_initialize (3825, 50603, 704);
fnd_request.submit_request API call.
Now, the values of user and Responsibilty is required in the program and it changes.
With this approach we have to hardcode the user and resp.
The same JSP page is attached to other responsibilities and there the concurrent program would get fired as if fired from the resp Id hardcoded as above.
Need to capture user Id and RespId.
How can i set the apps Context in JSP page???

How do i open and control other programs using labview?

I'm presently trying to use labview to try to open and operate another program,but having much difficulty.The external program i'm using is called the Foundation program.
This Foundation program will use VHDL programming to create a virtual chip and then synthesising it.This program will then simulate the output of this VHDL program to verify that it is working as desired.Then the last stage is to download the whole VHDL program into a FPGA chip using a xilinx cable.
All this need to be done using a labview program - to open the Foundation program and then extract the saved file and then to execute the download command to cause the VHDL program to be downloaded onto the FPGA chip.How do i go
about doing all this?What is the first step i must do.Also all this have to be done thru networking..looks like its too difficult..I really need help.
grays

I haven't done VHDL so pardon my ignorance.
LabVIEW can call external DLL via "Call Library Function" or C programs via "Code Interface Node", both located in "Advanced" function.
If your program is a DOS program, use "System Exec.vi" found in "Communication" function. If you need to format your DOS command prior to sending it, use the "Format Into String" function in "String" function palette.
Lastly, if you're trying to extract data, assuming it is text, use "File I/O" functions. If the data is binary, use "File I/O -> Binary File VIs".
Hope that answers most of your questions.

How to get the layout values in F4 help from Other program ?

Hello All,
       I have a program P1which calls other program P2 .
When I execute P1 I have a parameter for Layout with F4.
When I press F4 I want the help values which are there in the lay out of the other program P2.
For this I'm using the following code :-
DATA spec_layout        TYPE disvariant. "specific layout
DATA v_save             TYPE c.           "Save mode
DATA gs_variant         TYPE disvariant. "for parameter IS_VARIANT
DATA gv_exit            TYPE c.
PARAMETERS: p_vari TYPE disvariant-variant.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_vari.
* gs_variant-report = sy-repid.
* gs_variant-variant = p_vari.
CLEAR gs_variant.
MOVE '/BSHP/FP_CALL_OF_PLAN' TO gs_variant-report. "Report von Original CALL_OF_PLAN
gs_variant-variant = p_vari.
CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_VARIANT_F4'
    EXPORTING
      is_variant = gs_variant
      i_save     = v_save
    IMPORTING
      e_exit     = gv_exit
      es_variant = spec_layout
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found = 1
      OTHERS     = 2.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ELSE.
    IF gv_exit NE 'X'.
*     set name of layout on selection screen
      p_vari    = spec_layout-variant.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
But still I'm not able to get the values.
Can anyone help me out ?

How to edit a program dynamically called from another program

Hi all,
Can anyone help me in coding for a program which call's another
report dynamically from selection screen(for instance z_dynam_called)
and retreive the whole content of the dynamically called program(z_dynam_called)
into an internal table and replace the contents of the internal table with some new code and put it back in z_dynam_called and save it.
Thanks in advance.
Needful will be rewarded with points

Hi,
Follow this:
1) U can pass data from one program to another in a single login using SAP memory......
2) u can create a DBtable update dat table using ur first pgm and fetch from second program.....
3) U can pass the report output using EXPORT TO MEMORY addition and get it back using IMPORT FROM MEMORY..........
Eg:
Export the selected rows to the next program
EXPORT final TO MEMORY ID 'ABC'.
CALL TRANSACTION 'XXX'.
XXX is the tcode for the other program where u want to import the values.
In the second program
INITIALIZATION.
IMPORT the internal table from the first program
IMPORT final FROM MEMORY ID 'ABC'.
Thanks and Regards,

When I call an external program from Labview, how can I embed the interface into the front panel?

I'm running Labiew 6i for Linux. I'm using a system exec.vi to call an external program to do image manipulation (since there is no IMAQ for linux). How can I embed the user interface of the external program into the front panel of Labview?

As far as I know, the only way to embed other GUIs in LabView is an ActiveX in a container.
As long as you are using Linux, try to place (moving them on the desktop ) the two windows linked (like those 3 of WinAmp).
