Execute code from a text file ...

[Former Member]

Hello , Would like to know whether it is possible to have my ABAP code in a text file in desktop and then execute the code by reading it into an ITAB in another ABAP program .

Note : Pl. dont suggest how to upload and create a new program . I dont want to create a new program after uploading into ITAB using INSERT or function modules . I want to execute the code as part of the uploading program only . So that once the execution is complete the uploaded code will not be available in the SAP system.

Thanks in advance ,

Hi,

Yes you can, you can either generate a subroutine dynamically or use the ABAP statement INSERT REPORT. Once you have executed the report you then use DELETE REPORT to remove it.

See the function module RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN for an example.

Oh dear. The only solution to your requirement is, sadly, to upload and create a new program, and then one further step. There is no other way. So it looks like you'll have to do without.

From both an operations and a security standpoint I would say this is a really bad idea. It would allow someone to run untested, unapproved code. I can just imagine what an auditor would think, or a security consultant.

Darren - Thankx . Dynamic subroutine did work for me . Your points are awarded.

Michael - Thankx for remainding me the Quality and audit . The background scenario is different and its not part of any delivery .
