How to Create EXTRACTOR from R3 QUERY

Question

Hi,
I'd like to create an extractor from a custom ABAP R3 Query that must be executed with a variant.
The standard extractor from a query doesn't allow to execute the query with a variant.
The query variant drives some calculations and it's important for the correct display of the query result.
How can i do?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
the result of the query depends on the input fields we set in the variant. So we need to extract the query information on R3.
We tried also to submit the program related to the queries with return esporting the result to the memory  and  then, using the FMS LIST TO MEMORY and LIST TO ASCII in order to put the result into an internal table, but it doesn't work beacuse the query uses a logical database. Any IDEA?
The code below works for an easy query (join from table) but not on a query that uses a logical database :
DATA asci_tab TYPE text180 OCCURS 0.
DATA mem_tab TYPE abaplist OCCURS 0.
START-OF-SELECTION.
  SUBMIT AQZZFI==========ZTEST_AF=====
                        USING SELECTION-SET 'ZTEST_AF'
                        EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
                        AND RETURN.
  CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
    TABLES
      listobject = mem_tab
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found  = 1.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'
     EXPORTING
       list_index               = -1
     TABLES
       listasci                 = asci_tab
       listobject               = mem_tab
     EXCEPTIONS
       empty_list               = 1
       list_index_invalid       = 2
       OTHERS                   = 3   .
  ENDIF.
  CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FREE_MEMORY'.
