Assigning Tcodes to new roles from a text file

Assigning Tcodes to new roles from a text file

Creating a new role from scratch can be tedious and SAP hasn't provided a user friendly way of assigning a large number of Tcodes to a new role. This program allows you to take a text file (converted from Excel) and insert the Tcodes directly into the role menu. It is then a simple matter of creating the authorization profile from the new Tcodes.
The code was written in R/3 4.6C.
