TABLES parameter obsolete

Dear all,
I noticed that in SAP ECC 6.0 the tables parameter is obsolete (warning about it).
After trying some things out and reading on the forum, i found that u can pass an internal table as a changing parameter for example, but the parameter has to be of type tabletype, as in.
CHANGING mytab type mytabletype.
Is it possible to define the mytabletype in a function group, or does it have to be defined in the dictionary?
apparantly you cant use changing mytab type mara if u want to pass an internal table with the same structure as mara.
So can i define in an include of the function group?
Types: mytabletype type mara. ( or something like that)
Or is it possible to define in my function module interface:
CHANGING mytab type standard table mara (or something like that) So i can make use of the tables allready in the dictionary...
Kind regards,
Joren

Hi,
got this from help.sap.com.
The interface parameters can be typed. You can do so either by referring to ABAP Dictionary types or elementary ABAP types.
this means that you can only use global types for your parameters, and none you defined in your top. Kinda makes sence, if you consider the fact that you will also need the type when you implement the fm to pass the parameters
this is where I found it.

TABLES parameter obsolete, how to solve this?

Hi,
I am trying to port a function module from a CRM 4 to a CRM 5 system, and the original module had a TABLES parameter. Unfortunately, the CRM 5 system will not allow me to add a TABLES parameter (they have become obsolete).
The problem remains that I need to export/change a table full of data, and have not yet figured a way to do this, since (at least when I tried it) I can add EXPORT or CHANGING parameters with a type of the table, but they will be added as a structure of that type.
Any idea?
Thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
What kind of a problem are you facing..? I was able to pass an internal table as an exporting parameter to a Functoin Module.
I tried passing some values stored in an internal table used in an FM to a program.
Following steps are to be followed.
1) In SE11, create a table type for a table (I created a table type of KNA1 and its name was ztabtype).
2) In the EXPORT tab of the FM, specify the parameter of type ztabtype.
my_tab TYPE ztabtype
3) In the FM, I gave some values to the internal table my_tab.
4) In the main program, I called the function module, whose name was ZSP_FMOD .
CALL FUNCTION 'ZSP_FMOD'
IMPORTING
MY_TAB = ITAB[].
where ITAB declaration was as follows.
data: itab type table of kna1 with header line.
5) I got the values of internal table by using LOOP....ENDLOOP statement.
Hope this answer satisfies your query.
If so, close the thread by awarding points to the useful answers.

SP.

Function moudule error - table parameters obsolete

Subject changed by moderator. Please use a meaningful subject in future
Hi SAP-ABAP experts,
can i get get the information for the following error.
when i was giving *structure* name in tables parameter and gave the 'TYPE' as type in function module screen i was getting the error like this,
TABLES parameters are obsolete.
in 4.7e the function module got activated but in ecc 6.0 i am getting the error like that. can u please clarify the issue
will the type declaration be chaged according to versions of SAP ABAP.
Thanks,
Kavitha.P

1. Create a structure in SE11, this will include all the fields you want.
2. Create a Table type in SE11, referring the above structure as the row type.
3. Now, when you use this table type you would need to have a work area to process the data of the table. So, in the program declare a variable with ref to the structure created in Step 1.
Then you can use
LOOP AT T_ITAB INTO WA_ITAB.
ENDLOOP.
where T_ITAB is referring to table type and WA_ITAB is referring to structure.
Thanks

How to create Function Module with TABLE parameter (for internal table)

Hi Guys,
I am trying to create a function module by using TABLE parameter. I have to pass an internal table to this function module for processing.
But it saying : TABLES parameters are obsolete!
And I am not going further.
Please suggest any work arround.
Thanks

Hi,
create a table type in SE11..
Then use that in your function module importing/exporting/changing parameter for passing internal tables..

How to call a function with generic table parameter

Hi everybody
I need to call function module RSAR_ODS_API_GET (from BW). It recive an internal table with request ids and should return in E_T_DATA "unstructured" data from the psa and in E_T_RSFIELDTXT the description of the data structure, I guess
from sap help only thing I have reggarding how to use the function module is :
"You can call up the function module RSAR_ODS_API_GET with the list of request IDs given by the function module RSSM_API_REQUEST_GET. The function module RSAR_ODS_API_GET no longer recognizes InfoSources on the interface, rather it recognizes the request IDs instead. With the parameter I_T_SELECTIONS, you can restrict reading data records in the PSA table with reference to the fields of the transfer structure. In your program, the selections are filled and transferred to the parameter I_T_SELECTIONS.
The import parameter causes the function module to output the data records in the parameter E_T_DATA. Data output is unstructured, since the function module RSAR_ODS_API_GET works generically, and therefore does not recognize the specific structure of the PSA. You can find information on the field in the PSA table using the parameter E_T_RSFIELDTXT."
unfortunately I when running de report bellow, I get a dump which says:
Function parameter "E_DATA" is unknown
in the definition of the interface E_DATA has no type, which means it can recive any table type, right?
So I have two questions?
1) How to get the code working
2) How do I use the parameter E_T_RSFIELDTXT to parse the data returned in E_DATA
by debuging RSSM_API_REQUEST_GET for this code I found it try to put an internal table with the struct of the database table /BIC/B0000151000 in E_DATA
Thanks a lot for any help

How to read JCO Table parameter

Hello
I am calling Java function from ABAP side (JCO outbound call). Right now, in the java program I can get the import parameter data, but not the table parameter data. I am using the famous example5.java and the ABAP code is like below:
PARAMETERS: requtext LIKE sy-lisel.
DATA: echotext LIKE sy-lisel,
      resptext LIKE sy-lisel,
      rfctest TYPE TABLE OF rfctest,
      wa_rfctest TYPE rfctest.
wa_rfctest-rfcdata1 = requtext.
wa_rfctest-rfcdata2 = 'Hello World'.
APPEND wa_rfctest TO rfctest.
CALL FUNCTION 'STFC_CONNECTION'
DESTINATION 'JCO'
EXPORTING
    requtext = requtext
IMPORTING
    echotext = echotext
    resptext = resptext
TABLES
    rfctest = rfctest.
In the java side it is defined as:
JCO.MetaData fmeta = new JCO.MetaData("STFC_CONNECTION");
        fmeta.addInfo("REQUTEXT", JCO.TYPE_CHAR, 16,   0,     0,       JCO.IMPORT_PARAMETER, null);
        fmeta.addInfo("ECHOTEXT", JCO.TYPE_CHAR, 255,   255,     0,       JCO.EXPORT_PARAMETER, null);
        fmeta.addInfo("RESPTEXT", JCO.TYPE_CHAR, 255,   512,     0,       JCO.EXPORT_PARAMETER, null);
        fmeta.addInfo("RFCTABLE",     JCO.TYPE_TABLE,     144, 0, 0, 0,                    "RFCTEST");
Also RFCTEST structure is defined ( omitted here)
In the handleRequest(JCO.Function function), the following code:
if (function.getName().equals("STFC_CONNECTION")) {
                output.setValue(input.getString("REQUTEXT"),"ECHOTEXT");
                JCO.Table tab = tables.getTable("RFCTABLE");
                System.out.println("RFCTABLE rows = " + tables.getTable("RFCTABLE").getNumRows());
I always get 0 rows in the table RFCTABLE. I checked the trace file in the Java side, I can see the table data are indeed passed to Java side, the JCO just can't pass the data through the API.
Any one has idea of it?
Thank you very much.

I have read the function Structure of J_1B_NFE_XML_OUT and i don't find the TableParameter or ExportParameter for this FM.
How do you actually get your return parameter?
I don't think here the table type is JCO.Table.
And i don't know how to use this Function . So i can't test my assumption.
JCO.Table tab = function.getImportParameterList().getTable( "XML_ITEM_TAB" );
normally people use the JCO.Table tab=function.getTableParameterList().getTable();
But XML_ITEM_TAB is not a Table parameter.
I don't know if table type from importParmeter can convert themself like that.But you still can try it.
hope that be helpful!

ABAP Proxy Table Parameter

Hi All,
Im developing a File->XI->R/3 interface.
The Flat File content looks like this :
0001,0001,03.05.2003
0001,0002,03.05.2006
0001,0003,03.05.2006
I need to insert the data to an R/3 table ZTEST, and if the interface runs well I imagine that the table content will look like this :
ZTEST
Header ID     Item ID          Posting Date
0001          0001          03.05.2003
0001          0002          03.05.2006
0001          0003          03.05.2006
Ive designed and configured all the required objects, and the data successfully received by the R/3.
The payload on R/3s SXMB_MONI looks like this :
<?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 ?>
<ns0:Data1 xmlns:ns0=http://mycomp.com/data1>
     <Data>
          <HeaderID>0001</HeaderID>
          <ItemID>0001</ItemID>
          <PostingDate>03.05.2003</PostingDate>
     </Data>
     <Data>
          <HeaderID>0001</HeaderID>
          <ItemID>0002</ItemID>
          <PostingDate>03.05.2006</PostingDate>
     </Data>
     <Data>
          <HeaderID>0001</HeaderID>
          <ItemID>0003</ItemID>
          <PostingDate>03.05.2006</PostingDate>
     </Data>
</ns0:Data1>
But when I check my ZTEST table, it only contains the first row :
0001          0001          03.05.2003
I suppose this because my implementation on the proxy only runs once, and the parameter type is a structure.
Can we define a table parameter for ABAP Proxy instead of flat structure parameter ? So that I can loop through the
internal table and insert the row one by one.
Or is there a more common way to do this kind of interfacing ? Please advise me on this matter.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi All,
Thanks for the advices......
I've tried to set the occurence before, but I guess I forgot to regenerate the proxy, that's why it's not working and I began to think that setting the occurence won't solve the problem.
After reading your answers, I set the occurence again and regenerate the proxy, all works fine now.....
Thanks for the help.

Andy

Table parameter does not contain values in RFC call

Hello Experts,
I created RFC in R/3 with table parameter I_CUSTOMER. This RFC will be called by the CRM to pass all the customers data to R/3. The RFC was triggered by CRM passing 20 entries in I_CUSTOMER. However, when the debugger jumps in R/3 the table I_CUSTOMER in R/3 is empty. Can anyone help me to resolve the issue? any idea? thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Alezandro

Hi Alezandro ..
what is the type of table parameter I_CUSTOMER u have declared??
if CRM is passing 20 values through I_CUSTOMER, u must take
type <b>TABLE TYPE</b> which is to be created in dictionary.
if it doesn't helps u ...can u be more clear??

File to RFC - Missing data in table parameter

Hello,
I have a file-to-rfc scenario. My RFC function contains both inbound parameters and a table parameter.
When the RFC function is called, my data is passed correctly to the inbound parameters, however the
table is empty. I have tested my mapping and it is working properly. I have also check the
payload and all the data is there including the table data.
Has anyone run across this before?
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

in MONI you have any error??
in the R3 side, insert this code:
DATA: i_aux type i Value 1.
While i_aux = 1.
endwhile.
execute your scenario. later go to SM50 ans look for your process and debug it. now in debug mode check wether the parameters from PI reach to RFC.
if the parameters does not reach and there no any connection problem you have configure bad your connection parameters. check wether the connection parameter of RFC adapter are rigth in ID: Client,Server
is it Clear??
Thanks

How to set the tables parameter to a BAPI using adaptive RFC model

Hi,
I have a BAPI ZBAPI that has a tables parameter ZPernr of type ZTable with two elements pernr and name.
I used adaptive RFC model and created model classes for the BAPI.
My question how do i set list of pernr and name to the tables parameter in the webdynpro for java.
I have the following methods available
ZBAPI input = new ZBAPI();
1.ZTable table = new ZTable();
table.setPernr(pernr);
table.setname(name);
input.addZPernr(table);
how do i set the table parameter for multiple pernr and name
2.
add all the pernr and name to list and set that list to input in the following way
input.setZPernr(list) and list of typecom.sap.aii.proxy.framework.core. AbstractList
out of two methods mentioned which one is correct.
Please let me know the solution
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

Hi Bala,
            In your code:
List pernrList = new ArrayList();
pernrList should be declared as the type of class HROBJECT   ( The structure name in the model e.g. the node PERFWARN type is Zhrecmfm_002_Perfrat_Warning_Input )
Try this:
HROBJECT pernrList = new HROBJECT();
pernrList.setPernr(pernr);
input.setPernr_List(pernrList);
// call BAPI execute method
If you want to pass list of pernrs, you can pass in alternate way
IPrivate<viewname>.I<nodeame>Node prNode = wdContext.node<node>();
IPrivate<viewname>.I<nodeame>Element prEle;
for (int i = 0; i < table.size(); i++) {
HROBJECT pernrList = new HROBJECT();
pernrList.setPernr(pernr); // Set the pernr from current record
prEle = prNode.create<nodeame>Element(pernrList);
prNode.addElement(prEle);
// call BAPI execute method
Once I execute the BAPI how do i iterate thru second table parameter PERNR_PERFRAT to get pernr and performance rating text
Say your node name is PERNR_PERFRAT
for (int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodePERNR_PERFRAT().size(); i++) {
wdContext.nodePERNR_PERFRAT().getPERNR_PERFRATElementAt(i).getPernr();
wdContext.nodePERNR_PERFRAT().getPERNR_PERFRATElementAt(i).getPerfrat();

Table Parameter Values Are Input To RFC?

Hi,
My Requirement is Table Parameter Values are Input RFC.
We have Table Parameter With Project ID Column and Multiple Rows.
User Need To Enter Project id's in Table And Submit.The Result can be displayed.
In My Scenario User Need to enter the values in table.
I Developed Webdynpro Application and Deployed.
When i am trying to enter values into a table,table is not taking values.
Because in My Requirment is the user enter morethan one project id in table.
Thanks
SubbaRao Chinta

Hi,
Can you please explain more clearly that what is the meaning of "Table not taking values"?
Did you take the ColumnCellEditor(inputfield) for table column as input field.
For example, You need to create a value node as below
ProjectIdsNode (Value node with cardinality 0..n & selection 0...n)
---> ProjectId (Attribute)
And bind this ProjectIds node to table UI element. And bind ProjectId attribute to ColumnCellEditors(inputfield) value property.
Now in submit action loop though this node and get all the values entered in ProjectId attribute.
And set all these values into input of your RFC while executing to store in backend.

Charan

Syntax Error with Table Parameter (type: ANY) when Creating Function Module

Hello experts,
I want to create a function module with a table parameter and table type is ANY. But when I check (Ctrl+F7) this function module, syntax error occurs - "In this statement, the internal table "MSG_TABLE_ITEM" must have the type "STANDARD TABLE"."
Could anyone tell me what the wrong is? And how can I fix it?
Thanks,

Hi,
For table parameters, you can only pass
MSG_TABLE_ITM TYPE STANDARD TABLE
or
MSG_TABLE_ITM ( don't fill other columns TYPING ASSOCIATED TYPE ).

How to register PL/SQL index table parameter in OracleCallableStatement ?

Hello ,
I am using Oracle release 8.1.6.0.0 . I need to call a PL/SQL procedure through JDBC, which specifies an INDEX TABLE OUT parameter(e.g. TYPE type_name IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER) .
I found that with Oracle8i release 8.1.7, the Oracle JDBC OCI driver supports PL/SQL index-by tables using the registerIndexTableOutParameter method . But I have Oracle 8.1.6 and our client has 8.1.2!
Is there any way that I can read INDEX TABLE PARAMETER from PL/SQL procedure with Oracle release 8.1.2 and 8.1.6?
Another question is - Is it possible to do this with Oracle thin driver also ?

as per the requirement i need to display the same parameters in table form
suppose the rows of table is like
filed1filed2filed3

so iam planing to create internal table and pass it TABLE parameter option in FM
please tell me is it make sense and how to define TABLE parameter in FM, and how to pass data to it
thanks
vasavi

inside the fm you can declare some thing like this.. have a table parameter name some thing don't reference to any data type.
and also you have 10 importing parameters.
function ztest_function.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
         field1 type <datatype>,
         field2..
        field10,
      end of itab.
"passing importing parameters
itab-field1 = i_field1. "these are importing parameters
itab-field2 = i_field2.
itab-field10 = i_field10.
append itab.
table_parameter[] = itab[].
endfunction.
