How to pass a string longer than 30 to an Export Parameter in a PI sheet ?

56 Views

Hi All,

I'm trying to set up a process instruction in a PI sheet that calls a URL web page.

I found the function module CALL_BROWSER and tested it in SE37 and it works fine.

I created a process instruction to call this function module and pass parameters to it.

Everything works if the URL is short. For example:

0010 PPPI_BUTTON_TEXT Show URL

0020 PPPI_FUNCTION_NAME CALL_BROWSER

0030 PPPI_FUNCTION_DURING_DISPLAY allowed

0040 PPPI_EXPORT_PARAMETER URL

0075 PPPI_STRING_CONSTANT http://www.google.com

This is where I ran into a roadblock.

The characteristic PPPI_STRING_CONSTANT is only 30 characters long.

I can't figure out how to pass an export parameter longer than 30 characters.

I have also tried loading up multiple PPPI_VARIABLE(s) with the idea of some how combining them into a single long string that I can pass, but no luck figuring out how.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Kind Regards

Michael
