Issue with Opening a new Web Browser

[Schell, Kim]

Thanks Jocelyn,
The ITS_BROWSER_REDIRECT worked, it's not the ideal solution as it hijacks the current window instead of opening a new window, but it works.
The ITS_BROWSER_WINDOW_OPEN just like WEBGUI_BROWSER_WINDOW_OPEN will only work when run in debug mode.
 
If anyone has any ideas why when calling either of these function modules, they will only work when stepping through in debug mode, I would appreciate the help.
 
Regards,
-Kim

Kim, 
Hmmm... think you are getting a little off-track ... 
 
Stop trying to have web->call abap->call web - that way lies madness. 
 
Try a simple ITS_BROWSER_REDIRECT call in your method instead, i.e. just get ABAP to send commands
back to the web browser, rather than try and start more web stuff directly from ABAP. 
 
There's also an ITS_BROWSER_WINDOW_OPEN if you really need it - but usually the redirect is enough.

Workflow Gurus, 
I'm trying to open a web browser pointing to a web page as called from SAP ABAP. 
(This code is called from our Help BOR Object's default method - displaying help info on a web page) 

We have this code working when called from SAPGui (transaction WS_EXECUTE, calling Internet Explorer). 
But I now need to try to get this to work through the ITS (EP6.0). 

Transaction ITS_EXECUTE doesn't seem to work(which I expected to work - tries to open program "WS"), 
but I have got function module WEBGUI_BROWSER_WINDOW_OPEN to work. 
Unfortunately this FM only works when I execute it in debug mode. 

Can anyone tell me how to get function module WEBGUI_BROWSER_WINDOW_OPEN to work while running normally? 
Or does anyone know any tricks to get ITS_EXECUTE to work (so it doesn't try to run "WS")? 

I hope this is not too far off Workflow for this list, any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks, 
-Kim
