No value returned by Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>REGISTRY_GET_VALUE

[Former Member]

Hi

i am using method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>REGISTRY_GET_VALUE to read the registry value ;

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value

EXPORTING

root = 1

key = 'SOFTWARE\SAP\SAPGUI FRONT\SAP FRONTEND SERVER\LOCALDATA\'

value = 'DATAPATH'

IMPORTING

reg_value = lw_reg_value

EXCEPTIONS

cntl_error = 1

get_regvalue_failed = 2

OTHERS = 3.

This method returs sy-subrc = 0 but lw_reg_value is blank.

This same method is running successfully on another machine, but not on my machine.

I have checked the registry values in my machine, every thing is ok.

Please suggest where could be the problem

    Export params 
           REG_VALUE                         D:\Documents and Settings\sandra.rossi

Do you use sap gui for windows, html, java, or emulated terminals (citrix...) ?

i am using SAP GUI for windows..

this method is working on some other machine..but not on my..what could be the problem

[Sandra_Rossi]

does regedit work? (maybe missing authorizations on your windows)

do you have windows vista? Maybe a few things don't work, or there are some sap notes...

Can you Replace

ROOT         = cl_gui_frontend_services=>hkey_classes_root

insted of

root = 1
