Error while using RSCRM_BAPI with remote cubes

Question

Hi,
   We are getting short dump while trying to use RSCRM_BAPI with hierarchies i.e.display hierarchies to extract data to a flat file.
We do get a warning that display hierachies are not longer supported in 2004s with RSCRM_BAPI and have been going on and on with SAP development.  They are saying we need to find alternatives.
I wanted to know if anybody has tried using display hierarchies with RSCRM_BAPI in 2004s if not then I would like to know what are my options in getting a flat hierarchy report on to a flat file? 
I dont think infospoke supports flat hierarchy extracts as infoproviders dont store hierarchy information.
Thanks

Heres my thought -
to use Bex Broadcaster to download the information,am not sure if RSCRM_BAPI is replaced by new functionality ,might wait for SAP to confirm.
<b>Key capabilities:-</b>
1)The right information:Based on BExqueries, views, workbooks, Web applications & enterprise reports
2)In different formats:HTML, MHTML, PDF, ZIP, printer formats, online links, SAP alerts…
3)To the right people:e.g., single users, groups, distribution lists, user-specific or role-specific (incl. non-SAP users)
4)In different channels:e-mail, Portal, BExPortfolio (unified access based on Knowledge Management folders), collaboration rooms, Universal Work List…
At the right time:event driven, exception driven, ad-hoc, scheduled
