Fetch contents of infoobject in abap

Question

Hi
Is it possible to fetch the contents of an infoobject from ABAP?
The infoobject 0COSTCENTER contains the cost center hierarchy and I want to somehow access that hierarchy from ABAP.
Is there a function module or a class to handle this?
Regards,

i am not sure whether it checks authorization. (test it and see)
you cannot test it from SE37. you need to write a simple program and call this FM within that to do the test.
select single * from rshiedir into hier_wa where
  objvers eq 'A' and
  hietype eq '1' and
  hienm eq hier_name and
  dateto ge sy-datum .
  if sy-subrc ne 0 .
    raise invalid_hierarchy .
  endif .
  clear hier_detail .
  move: hier_wa-hieid to hier_detail-hieid ,
        hier_wa-objvers to hier_detail-objvers .
  call function 'RSSH_HIERARCHY_READ'
   exporting
     i_rshiedirkey           = hier_detail
*  I_RSHIEDIRLOG           =
     i_date                  = sy-datum
   importing
     e_rshiedir              = e_rshiedir
     e_t_rsnodes             = e_t_rsnodes
     e_th_rsinterval         = e_th_rsinterval
     e_duplicate_leafs       = e_duplicate_leafs
     e_t_rsnodes_lnk         = e_t_rsnodes_lnk
   exceptions
     invalid_hierarchy       = 1
     name_error              = 2
     iobj_not_found          = 3
     others                  = 4 .
  case sy-subrc .
