Calling separate LSMW steps from ABAP program

[Former Member]

Hai all,

anybody know if I can call sepearte LSWM step from a ABAP programm,

I only need to:

Specify Files

Import Data

Convert Data

Create Batch Input Session

Run Batch Input Session

Need this steps so i can provide backoffice user a tool which imports data using predefined LWSM.

Grtz

If you mark the LSMW object as "periodic" in the first step, there will be a new menu entry at the bottom of the step list called "frame program". This seems to be what you need here.

This solution is to complex for our backoffice users, i found the seperate FM's which are used within transaction LSMW

with this list i can do the trick.

Sounds good, please tell us once you got this working, could be useful for other folks as well.

I made a lsmw and after completing all steps i tested step 080/100/300 and 310 from se37, it seems to work fine, i will update when completed

Thomas' way would provide you with exactly the same - you would only have to create a variant for /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_INTERFACE - and if you absolutely wanted to: assign this to a new Z-transaction-code. - you wouldn't even need to program ...

I allready tried Thomas his solution, the only problem with that is that the selection screen is to complex for our backoffice users, calling sepearte FM's is i think a cleaner way.

We also want a limitation of LSMW's a user can execute so a custom screen is neccesary.

P.s.

in /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_INTERFACE users are not able to change filename and location of the file with has to be processed

... which is, why I wrote: create variant. You can decide which fields to show .. which to make obligatory etc.

... yes, they are: that's what the section: General Parameters is for ...

and to create a transaction for it - simply use PFCG.

Can i when making a variant for programm /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_INTERFACE also let backoffice users choice their own input tekst file and path where the file is stored?

[Former Member]

Van,

I used to do these things thru BDC. if you want to work on BDC let me know. i will give u details.
