Capture weight using clipboard

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am making a module pool program.

In which I have to capture the gross weight, truck weight and net weight. All these weights will come from a .net application.

What I need to do is, I have to get these values from clipboard.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Hi,

If the .net is "home made" can you make it create a file ?

Yash,

Pl. use  "CLPB_IMPORT" function module to fetch the data from the clipboard.

I am also using same FM for fetching the data from the clipboard in our company for Weigh Bridge Application.

Pl. have a look at the screen:

Here Capture Load button and capture tare weight are Push buttons. When a user clicks on these push buttons, the control will go to the FM.

Code:

TYPES:BEGIN OF ty_file,
        line(100) TYPE c,
       END OF ty_file.

data: t_file   TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_file,

        w_file    TYPE ty_file,

         g_empty(1).          

FORM get_file USING    value(fp_var) TYPE any
               CHANGING value(fp_weh) TYPE any .             "#EC NEEDED

*Importing Weighbridge weight from Clipboard
   CALL FUNCTION 'CLPB_IMPORT'                               "#EC *
     IMPORTING
       empty      = g_empty
     TABLES
       data_tab   = t_file
     EXCEPTIONS
       clpb_error = 1
       OTHERS     = 2.
   IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
   ENDIF.

   IF NOT t_file IS INITIAL.
     LOOP AT t_file INTO w_file.
       fp_weh = w_file+3(13).
       fp_weh = fp_weh / 1000.
     ENDLOOP.
   ENDIF.
   REFRESH:t_file.
   CLEAR:sy-ucomm.

ENDFORM.                    " GET_FILE

This will help you.

Hi,

I was not aware of the existence of CLPB_IMPORT that Vivek Goyal

mention (Thanks for the lesson),

so I thought that reading from a text file will be simpler.

But I can see that CLPB_IMPORT is "obsolete" and the documentation say to use

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES .

You can use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES for your purpose.

Call CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>CLIPBOARD_IMPORT for pasting data from clipboard

whereas CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>CLIPBOARD_EXPORT for copying data to clipboard.

Thanks, Abhinab
