Hi,
HR_READ_INFOTYPE  is a Function Module.
Without Using LDB we can use this function module.
HR_READ_INFOTYPE will always return to the structure definition, not the infotype table definition.
call function 'HR_READ_INFOTYPE'
     exporting
        TCLAS           = 'A'
          pernr           = person
          infty           = '0002'
          begda           = begdat
          endda           = enddat
     importing
          subrc           = return
     tables
          infty_tab       = p0002
     exceptions
          infty_not_found = 1
          others          = 2.
RP_READ_INFOTYPE is a macro .
Use Of LDN is Compulsery
All infotype records for one person in a given time period are put in one internal infotype table (defined by means of the programming language declaration INFOTYPES).
RP_READ_INFOTYPE pernr infty inftytab beg end
Input Parameters :
pernr :Personnel number of the person requested
infty : Infotype number of the infotype requested
inftytab :Name of the internal infotype table
beg :Validity start date of the time interval
end :Validity end date of the time interval
Outputs:
PNP-SW-FOUND = 0, if there is no matching record in the dataset
PNP-SW-FOUND = 1, if there is at least one matching record in the dataset
PNP-SW-AUTH-SKIPPED-RECORD = 0, if the HR authorization check has retained no record due to lack of authorization
PNP-SW-AUTH-SKIPPED-RECORD = 1, if the HR authorization check has retained at least one record due to lack of authorization
internal infotype table, containing all matching records for which the user is authorized (this table can also be empty).
Thanks & Regards.
