Get the property tree details of a specification of a material

Question

Hi All,
I have a requirement to get the details of the properties of a specification like regulations,physical properties etc. in a report.
please help me to get the values of the properties.
For example, if you have the TSCA list in the regulation, i need to get the entries of that.
I tried with the FM C1F2_SUBSTANCES_READ_WITH_REF. But it is not working.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Clara.

Dear Clara
may be I misinterpret you. This would be my understanding:
a.) using a e.g. list of materials you would like to find the specifications related to them
b.) then as specifications are found you would like like to get "values" read from property tree.
As mentioned in many threads. this is EHS "core function"; therefore I would never try to generate a  new report or a new transaction to solve the demand. The best option is like this:
a.) using CG02 you can upload a list of materials (by be some OSS might be missing in your system to do so) ; by doing this you will get a hit list
b.) by using one of the standard output variants you will get the output as required (and quite flexible !)
This is very user friendly. If the existing output variants are not "useful" you can create easily your own one and combine this with the "search" options as mentioned above This output variant can be designed to use "ALV".
If you take a look on EHS standard in theory you have further options. Using HSM solution you can "map" EHS core values to a HSM master data; this data you can then analyse or e.g. distribute per ALE etc.
The "main" issue in your approach is: what is the question which you would like to "solve" (address)? Is there the need to check values regularly ? and if so why?
Example: in most cases there is the need to maintain in e,g. "Density" at least three data records (and if you are acting in NAFTA region may be more). The same is true for many "properties" as well; many people believe that there is only one data record per property; but this is in many cases not correct (e.g. GHS data, etc. etc.).
Depending on the "physical data" your would like to get: partially such data is prepared in the "DG" master as well (e.g. flashpoint etc.).
I would try always to use the EHS core functionaly as much as possible. Therefore the use of "output variants" are in most cases a very good option to solve the demand (and in 90% of the cases the existing variants are sufficient).
Check: Search and Data Output in the Specification Information System - Basic Data and Tools (EHS-BD) - SAP Library
But clealry you can use a combination of"function modules" as existing in EHS. Please check the links I have provided. I would suggest to analyse e..g. output variant "EXCEL" to "learn" how SAP has done the job in retrieving the data: this is always a good approach,

PS:
e.g. check Query for list of specifications or similar thread (Composition assignment in Material master, problems during filling of the material which is assigned to REAL_SUBs, dynamic linking materials to substances
creating hit list
E.g. check may be: http://www.sapdatasheet.org/abap/func/index-c.html
and function groups C1F2, C1F5 in your system.
PPS: keep in mind that it is allowed to link a material to two or more specifications; there are good reasons why this is needed; keep this in mind if you are looking for a solution option.
