Hello Ajas,

I do not think that would be possible

OLE is a technique developed by Microsoft and mostly used in Microsoft products such as its Office suite

To know whether InDesign supports OLE and the commands required one would need to visit the InDesign site.. and on a quick glance through it, I didn't find OLE mentioned

However, if its a simple InDesign document that you need to open then you can use the FM WS_EXECUTE

Best regards,

Not too sure then

I got the basic excel and word connection codes from the forums itself and i'm sure nothing exists for InDesign here

Can PB call Excel too?

If so perhaps you can compare the connection code for excel there with the connection code from SAP to excel and use that to get the SAP -> InDesign connection code

Hi Anitha,

I had same error(sy-subrc = 2).But i solved it and its working fine.Run the function module 'AUTHORITY_CHECK_OLE' and try.
