Hi,
To call a popup you need to have access to the window manager which is not available from BADI. So this is something you need to do from the BOL layer itself. EH_ONSAVE should get called.
Anyway, to create popup you need to create a view in your component or if any of the standard desicion popups suit you, you can use that. You need to create a component usage for the view using a component (give the name of your component) and an interface view (basically a window, can be a new or old reusable window). In your runtime repository create an entry for the window and the custom view inside the window.
Next design the htm page of the view, whichever way you want. And add a button. This completed the view development.
Now to call the view as a popup, do like this:
lv_popup = comp_controller->window_manager->create_popup(
         iv_interface_view_name = 'Windowname'        "#EC NOTEXT
         iv_usage_name          = lv_comp_usage
         iv_title               = lv_title ).
duplicate_popup->set_on_close_event( iv_view       = view_controller
                                       iv_event_name = on_close_event ).
Do remember to create an event on_close_event, that you help you navigate back to the main processing.
