Autorisation check on s_dataset uses unexpected program name

[Former Member]

Hi,

I made a custom global method to do file access using the open dataset statement. When this statement is executed an authorization check against s_dataset is executed.

I expected that the authorization check would use the calling program as the program name. In stead the name of the method/class is used.

Do any of you know a way around this?

thanx Robert

Have you passed your program name using a parameter to the method , otherwise SY-REPID in the method would point to the class-pool program. Pass the value using a parameter and then use it in the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement instead of SY-REPID.

Hi,

Have you tried user SY-CPROG : External procedure call

Maybe this will solve your problem.

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt answers. My problem is that the authorization check is implicit in the statement 'open dataset'. I can't give my own program name so i can't use a parameter or system value.

thanks Robert

Hi Robert,

As this is done by SAP there is probably no way to change it...

I would suggest you to do the check and gives a nice error message if no right.

Sorry but I can't give you more informations

Ask basis to include this programname in the S_DATASET based authorization assigned to you and other relevant users.

Thanks for all your replies. I will use a work-around using an extra authority check with the name of the calling program.
