Call Transaction IH08 SET Parameter ID not working

[sf667]

Hello everybody,

I have the following situation:

DATA lv_mat TYPE mara-matnr.
lv_mat = '000000000000612049'.

SET PARAMETER ID 'MAT' FIELD lv_mat.

CALL TRANSACTION  'IH08'.

After the transaction has opened, the field matnr is not filled in the selection screen.

Has anyone any idea why it is not filled?

Did you already analyze the events of the report beyound the transaction (LOAD-OF-PROGRAM, INITIALIZATION, default variant U_+user name, etc.) there should ne some code related to part and serial number. (you could debug the execution)

Could you consider using a SUBMIT (with hidden parameter dy_tcode as 'IH08') and not a CALL TRANSACTION?

Thanks for your help. Now, I have used a SUBMIT an it works fine.
