FRONTEND_ERROR in the "WS_QUERY"

Hello Experts,
I am getting an runtime error when trying to open an archived invoice via transaction FBL5N.This runtime error is coming in the FM " WS_QUERY" with description as " Exception condition "Frontend Error raised." Is this error is related to the SAP/IXOS/LiveLink or the SAP Gui?
Currently I am using SAP GUI 640 and we recently upgraded to the ECC 6.0 from 4.7.
Please provide your valuable inputs to overcome this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Sachin

Even we are getting this error.
Is there any solution to this error?

CALL_BROWSER function is not launching the browser

Hello friends,
We have ECC6 server and I have written a custom bapi that calls "CALL_BROWSER" function. We have sevaral window clients with sapGUI running on them from where we logon to server to use this BAPI.
The CALL_BROWSER function launches browser with the right URL on all the window clients. However, on one of the client
which is WIndows 7 (64 BIT), it doesn't launch the browser at all.
SAP has a function name WS_QUERY, that is suppose to return the u201Cnameu201D of the operating system that the SAP GUI is running under. In the WS_QUERY function, there is code to distinguish between Unix, OSX, OS/2, and all the flavors of windows except for the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
Has anyone seen this problem before? I would appreciate if some one can please let me know how to fix this problem.
Thanks
Ram

Since no one responded, looks like this is not the right place to ask this question and so closing the question

Hi Experts, replace function module WS_QUERY to return the name of OS?

Hi Experts,
the function WS_QUERY can return your computer operating system, you can try it SE37(WS_QUERY), and only give value 'OS' to the QUERY parameter and execute the function, you can see it in RETURN parameter, but now this function is obsolete and I must replace it with another function or method, can anyone of you tell me which function can totally(the return value need to be the same, but any valuable feedback is also welcome) replace it? thanks in advance!
Kind regards

Hi Dawson,
You can use the static method GET_PLATFORM of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

How to open a web page from a BSP ? Or swap from the actual URL to another?

Hi,
I have a BSP, executing some data loading. It works fine.
I am trying to enhance it by adding a call to another URL, at the end of the program.
The same code works when I execute it from transaction SE38. However, when this is executed from the BSP itself, the return code of the function CALL_BROWSER is 2.
I made som debugs, and the CALL_BROWSER function executes another function which is WS_QUERY. And there, SAP seems not being able to find wich system it is running on.
Has someone done that before?
Here is the code of my BSP (the same that works in SE38):
DATA : appname      TYPE string,
       ls_page_name TYPE string,
       cb_true      TYPE boolean,

in that case you can either use
navigation->goto_page(<url>) .
or if you want to open the page in a new window.
inoninputprocessing after all your processing done youc an set a varialbe say opennewwindow = 'YES'
and in the layout write this code.
<% if opennewwindow = 'YES' . %>

Runtime Dump: FRONTEND_ERROR : RAISE_EXCEPTION

Hi,
We are getting a Runtime Dump RAISE_EXCEPTION in production.
I know this error, but the error is occuring in function module "WS_QUERY".
It is raised at line 265..
It seems to be some error with the Operating system. I am not sure.
Below is the extract from dump:
Error analysis
    A RAISE statement in the program "SAPLGRAP" raised the exception
    condition "FRONTEND_ERROR".
    Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior
    program, processing was terminated.
    Short description of exception condition:
    For detailed documentation of the exception condition, use
    Transaction SE37 (Function Library). You can take the called
    function module from the display of active calls.
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
keywords:
"RAISE_EXCEPTION" " "
"SAPLGRAP" or "LGRAPU32"
"WS_QUERY"
or
"SAPLGRAP" "FRONTEND_ERROR"
or
"RAIMRECH " "FRONTEND_ERROR"
If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
notification to SAP, include the following information:
Program............. "SAPLGRAP"
Screen.............. "SAPMSSY0 1000"
Screen line......... 6
Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLGRAP" - in "WS_QUERY".
    The main program was "RAIMRECH ".
    In the source code you have the termination point in line 266
    of the (Include) program "LGRAPU32".
I have searched on OSS Notes, but could not find any related notes.
Please guide.

I use function module WS_QUERY to do exactly this thing. If it sends back RETURN = 'ITS" then it is connected to ESS/MSS. This has worked in our 6.20 and ECC6 systems, though I guess it may not work in exactly the same way in your system. There also might be a more modern method of a class to do the same thing.

Problems with the report export in PDF format

Hi All,
I am new to this forum.
I'm developing a web application that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports.
I have three problem:
1) I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
2) I want to print multiple reports one after the other to reduce the time (possibly joining two or more reports into a single PDF)
3) I want to insert, in the jsp page filters, the number of pages to print from the same report (without
opening it with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word))
Can anyone help me? or can give a simple java code to do the same.
Thanks in advance.

How to creat the logical file name.

FU FILE_GET_NAME
Text
Assign the Physical File Name Using a Logical File Name
Functionality
R/3 applications run on various platforms with various file systems. This function module enables you to use platform-independent logical file names in your application programs.
Based on definitions maintained in customizing tables for platform-independent file names, the function module converts a logical file name to the corresponding physical file name and path for the hardware platform concerned.
For this conversion to work for different platforms, the definition of a logical file name must include a logical file path, which in turn is converted to different physical file paths, depending on the particular platform. The platform-specific file name returned by the function module is composed of the physical file path for the current platform and the physical file name associated with the logical file name. Placeholders in physical file and path names are substituted at runtime by the corresponding current values.
Example
logical file name: MONTHLY_SALES_FILE
physical file name: VALUES<PARAM_1>
logical path: SALES_DATA_PATH
physical path (UNIX): /usr/<SYSID>/<FILENAME>
physical path (Windows): C:\SALES\<FILENAME>
Example 1
Get file name for UNIX platform
(current system: K11)
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
EXPORTING
LOGICAL_FILENAME = 'MONTHLY_SALES_FILE'
IMPORTING
FILE_NAME = FILE
FILE_FORMAT = FORMAT.
Result:
FILE = /usr/K11/VALUES
FORMAT = WK1
Example 2
Get file name for UNIX platform, passing a parameter
(current system: K11)
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
EXPORTING
LOGICAL_FILENAME = 'MONTHLY_SALES_FILE'
PARAMETER_1 = '_TST'
IMPORTING
FILE_NAME = FILE
FILE_FORMAT = FORMAT.
Result:
FILE = /usr/K11/VALUES_TST
FORMAT = WK1
Example 3
Get file name for WINDOWS platform, with file name extension
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
EXPORTING
LOGICAL_FILENAME = 'MONTHLY_SALES_FILE'
WITH_FILE_EXTENSION = 'X'
IMPORTING
FILE_NAME = FILE
FILE_FORMAT = FORMAT.
Result:
FILE = C:\SALES\VALUES.WK1
FORMAT = WK1
Notes
All definitions needed for the platform-independent assignment of file names are maintained client-independently with transaction FILE. Logical file names (but not logical file paths) can also be defined specifically for the current client with transaction SF01. Transaction SF07 generates a list of current definitions.
The following concepts are used in the platform-independent assignment of file names:
Logical file name
A descriptive name for a file which is associated with these values:
physical file name
file format
logical file path.
If no logical file path is specified, the function module returns the physical file name only; placeholders are substituted by current values.
Physical file name
The physical file name may contain placeholders.
Logical file path
A descriptive name for a path which is associated with these values:
syntax groups (groups of operating systems)
physical file paths.
Physical file path
The physical file path is defined for a particular syntax group. It must contain the reserved word <FILENAME> as a placeholder for the file name. It may also contain other placeholders.
Operating system
Presentation server and application server can run under different operating systems. The current value for the application server can be obtained from the system field SY-OPSYS, the value for the presentation server by calling function module WS_QUERY.
Both operating systems must be defined and assigned to a syntax group.
Syntax group
Group of operating systems with a common syntax for file and path names (e.g. HP-UX and SINIX).
Placeholder
Reserved words, set in angle brackets, which can be included in physical file and path names (e.g. <DATE>, <FILENAME>). You can find information on possible reserved words in the online help (F1 help) for the fields physical file name and physical file path when maintaining platform-independent file names with transaction FILE.
If the logical path associated with a logical file name does not specify a physical path for the current operating system (syntax group), the path stored in the profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL of the current system is used for generating a complete platform-specific file name.
Parameters
CLIENT
LOGICAL_FILENAME
OPERATING_SYSTEM
PARAMETER_1
PARAMETER_2
PARAMETER_3
USE_PRESENTATION_SERVER
WITH_FILE_EXTENSION
USE_BUFFER
ELEMINATE_BLANKS
EMERGENCY_FLAG

F4 Help to get the path for a File source directory

There are numerous function modules for browsing a particular file in desktop and getting the file path (including the fine name) , like F4_FILENAME , KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4 , WS_FILENAME_GET etc. But can anyone tell me how to fetch only the directory path to the field were the F4 help is given. Actually the filename has to come in some other field in the selection screen. Is there separate funtion modules for these OR will changing parameters in the above function modules work?
Pls Help....
Also are there function modules for providing F4 help for getting the path to a file in application directory?
