Launch an URL

[former_member331153]

Hi,

Your requirement is to retrieve a XML file from an application unSAP. For this, in SAP, we must launch an query (an http URL with an user and password) in order to retrieve a XML file and add this content in an SAP internal table.

Do you know how do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Please check out this sample:

DATA: ls_zll_service TYPE zll_service.
  DATA: sysid TYPE srcsystem.

  DATA: command TYPE string,
        lv_application TYPE string,
        returncode TYPE  i.

  DATA: c1(200) TYPE c,
        c2(200) TYPE c,
        c3(200) TYPE c,
        c4(200) TYPE c,
        c5(200) TYPE c.

  DATA: lv_objkey_url TYPE borident-objkey,
        lv_index TYPE sy-index,
        lv_length TYPE i.

  CALL FUNCTION 'GET_SYSTEM_NAME'
       IMPORTING
            system_name = sysid.

    MOVE 'http://www.sap.com'
                TO c1.

    CONCATENATE c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 INTO command.
    CONCATENATE 'url.dll,FileProtocolHandler'
                command
           INTO command
       SEPARATED BY space.

    MOVE 'rundll32' TO lv_application.
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
       EXPORTING
         APPLICATION            = lv_application
         PARAMETER              = command
       EXCEPTIONS
         CNTL_ERROR             = 1
         ERROR_NO_GUI           = 2
         BAD_PARAMETER          = 3
         FILE_NOT_FOUND         = 4
         PATH_NOT_FOUND         = 5
         FILE_EXTENSION_UNKNOWN = 6
         ERROR_EXECUTE_FAILED   = 7
         others                 = 8
            .
  ENDIF.

100% working solution, we are using this in the productive system.

Hi!

OR if you have to execute a WebService from SAP, then go through this document:

Thank you for your answer.

I can launch an URL. BUT, by IE, my URL will return an XML. How do you do to store the XML data in an SAP internal table?
