Joe,

    Ah, then that's one new feature to look forward to in 4.7 (Basis 6.20)
Sorry about that.

Paul

Thanks Paul,

Our version of CALL_BROWSER does not have the parameter "NEW_WINDOW"

Are you referring to the FM or Portal IView parameters?

Thanks.

These are I/O for the CALL_BROWSER FM.

FUNCTION call_browser.

Joe,

 Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but did you set the parameter NEW_WINDOW

= 'X' when invoking CALL_BROWSER?
I tried it in our portal(EP 6.0) on cnn.com, and it works as expected.

cheers,
Paul

Hi there everyone,

I'm working on workflow that requires an html page be loaded and the user
to perform a function in that web page, and then return back to the method.

It is simple when the method is executed from R/3, since all that needs to
happen is to make a call to FM CALL_BROWSER and an IE window opens up and
the user is able to see the page, perform the activity, close the window
and then return page to R/3.

The problem I'm having is that when the user is accessing the work item
from the Enterprise Portal.  When the CALL_BROWSER FM is executed, it
"steps" or overrides the current IE window URL, and it messes up the
navigation.

This may or may not be a workflow related question, but does any one know
of a way to call a web page from R/3 and always force it to open up a NEW
IE window?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Cheers...

FYI, we are on 4.6C and executing the work items from SBWP, accessed via an

IView in the portal.
