This Document would explain the required pre-requisites for capturing the weight of the Truck on the weighbridge via serial port (COMM1) from an ABAP program without involving the third party software. Step 1 : Register the Windows activeX control MSCOM32.OCX on the client PC where the Weighbridge's serial port is connected. Step 2: Implement this control in Transaction SOLE in SAP (Create an entry MSCOMMLIB.MSCOMM.1 and enter the CLSID. {648A5600-2C6E-101B-82B6-000000000014} Step 3 : Active this MSCOMM32.OCX with Licence Key on the client PC where the Weighbridge's serial port is connected. Open RUN execute: regedit Go to u201CHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\u201D Create new key (Folder) name with '4250E830-6AC2-11cf-8ADB-00AA00C00905' Give the default VALUE: kjljvjjjoquqmjjjvpqqkqmqykypoqjquoun Restart the system. Step 4: Copy MSCOMM32.OCX onto the local disk of the system in the path mentioned below

Copy The same file onto the following mentioned location as well :

Step 5: Now Create the Function Module as shown below:

The Import parameters of the function module are shown below:

The Export parameters of the function module are shown below:

In the Import parameters we have to give the port settings which should be checked from the system on which the program is being run and to check the setting of the comport we have to goto MYCOMPUTER -->> DEVICE

MANAGER -->> OPEN THE ‘PORTS(COM & LPT)’ NODE and right click on the port and choose properties which is shown in the below screen shot :
