its the F8 button. i want to start the programm in the abap workbench, pushing F8 and that doesnt start it... the F8 button works correctly in other programms, it has to do something with that copied programm, but i don't know what, because it works if i start the program with the transaction code.

😕

Rafe,

Before pressing F8 give /h and enable the screen debugging.

Once the debugging is on press F8 and check at

sy-ucomm = ONLI.You will get some lead.

sy-ucomm is all the time WB_EXEC and i cant change its value... or what exactly did you want me to do? and does anyone else got a clue why that program won't start when pushing F8 in the abap workbench?

thx for every post

Is there any code like load of program ( Event ) in your report?

If it is there then sone one have written some code like if sy-tcode is 'Z...' then only it will process other wise it won't.

Hope that is the problem.

display your report and check for the load of program event..

REgards,

Madan.

check your program type..dat is whether it is an executable program or module pool. I think ur program might be type 'M' which can only be started using tcode and not directly..

plz reward points if this helps

[former_member188827]

alos in program attributes check whether check box start using variant is checked or not

[Former Member]

only 2 checks

is your program is type ''M''

is your program is fully active

[Former Member]

Hi,

go to the attribute and see the program type if it is not executable program then it will ask for tcode .

so make it executable program and then run pressing F8.

It will surely run .

Reward some points.

Hi,

Please check your program type..

Whether it is an executable program or module pool.

You can check this in (GOTO -> Attributes -

---

Type )

If your Prgram TYpe is Module Pool, it cannot be run by F8, but only thru tcode for it.

Reward if useful.
