How to navigate to ABAPDOCU

[OttoGold]

Hello.

I would like to navigate to ABAPDOCU glossary from my application. I couldn't find a way how to do it but can't believe i am the first one with the idea. Has anyone ever done that before?

I found function module  ABAP_DOCU_SHOW, but that thing does not open up. I obviously read the documentation and know i must use the cl_abap_docu=>show, but that does not open up either. Funny thing is that when I call it by double-clicking in report ABAP_DOCU_LIST, it works just fine. What is that I am missing?

Hi Otto,

it seems that you have to call a dynpro screen, then the documentation is displayed.

REPORT z_test_abap_docu.

DATA: docu_container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_control.

cl_abap_docu=>show(
  EXPORTING
    area           = 'ABEN'
    name           = 'REGEX_SYNTAX'
  IMPORTING
    docu_container =  docu_container ).

CALL SCREEN 0100.

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*&      Module  STATUS_0100  OUTPUT
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*      text
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
MODULE status_0100 OUTPUT.
  IF docu_container IS BOUND.
    cl_gui_control=>set_focus(
        EXPORTING
          control           = docu_container    " Control
        EXCEPTIONS
          cntl_error       = 1
          cntl_system_error = 2
          OTHERS           = 3 ).

    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE 'S' NUMBER sy-msgno
                WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4
                DISPLAY LIKE sy-msgty.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.                " STATUS_0100  OUTPUT

This behaviour is caused by the SUPPRESS DIALOG statement in the dynpro processing of FM ABAP_DOCU_SHOW.

Thanks Christian, much appreciated. I would be wasting time, I didn't realize this detail.
