URL in data element documentation (F1 help)

[Former Member]

Hi, is it possible to insert a URL within a data element documentation ? I know it is possible to link the F1 help functionality to go to a URL instead of the data element documentation, but what was asked is to display the regular documentation for the data element, but include a URL to a web site for further information. Any idea how to do this ?

Hi, thank you for the quick reply. I believe the links you sent refer to functionality avaible with Netweaver ( Web dynpros, Dynamic documents... ) I should have mentionned we are using SAP 4.70. I tried inserting a link to a web application, and I am asked to provide the "Web application" name. How do I create this ? I just want to point to a website, not a BSP or ITS service or any SAP web application. I could always create a BSP to redirect to the Web site, if the Web aplication field would accept a BSP name. Thanks again,

I got this to work by creating an abap_program 'ZURL' and created varaints for each url:

report  zurl.

parameter p_url type string.

call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
  exporting
    document = p_url
  exceptions
    others   = 1.

* End of Report.

In the F1 Help Editor chose menu path Insert -> Link

Use F4 help on parameter Document Class and select 'Online execution of a report'

For parameter 'Report-  type 'ZURL'

In Name of dument enter a meaningful text.

Press Green Tick.

Now place the cursor on newwly crated link on the editor and press the change pencil.

Modify the parameter 'Key' to look like this 'REPO.ZURL.<variant name>'

You can test your url in print preview.

Regards Sandy.
