Reading Dictionary table from VB

Hi,
As a process to retrive data from SAP into VB, i need to read SAP tables remotely from VB. I am able to connect to SAP using objects but i need a way to read the table data. Could you pls suggest methods...
Thank you
anan

Hi,
Once you connected to SAP, it is easy. Use the remote enabled function module name
RFC_READ_TABLE
to read the fields and content of a given table.
Pls let me know if you need detailed explanation about data retrieval

Read internal table from report.

Hi all.
I want to know is it possible to read internal table from report without modifying the report. is there any function module by which we can run the report and read data from internal table?
Thanks.

hi
hope it will help you.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Read table doesn't allow ne operator.
It reads only one record...Either by index or key.
READ TABLE MY_TAB INDEX 1.
READ TABLE MY_TAB WITH KEY CODE = 'ATG'.
these are the results for SY-SUBRC checks after read table
SY-SUBRC = 0:
An entry was read.
SY-TABIX is set to the index of the entry.
SY-SUBRC = 2:
An entry was read.
SY-TABIX is set to the index of the entry. This return code can only occur when you use the COMPARING addition. For further detauls, refer to the COMPARING section of the additions
SY-SUBRC = 4:
No entry was read.
The value of SY-TABIX depends on the table type and whether the BINARY SEARCH addition was specified.
If the table is a SORTED TABLE or a table sorted in ascending order of the type STANDARD TABLE with the BINARY SEARCH addition, SY-TABIX refers to the next-highest index.
Otherwise, SY-TABIX is undefined.
SY-SUBRC = 8:
No entry was read.
This return code only occurs with a SORTED TABLE or a STANDARD TABLE with the BINARY SEARCH addition. SY-TABIX is set to the number of all entries plus 1.

Need to Add and Remove Columns of ADF Read Only table from Backing bean

I have a scenario where I am trying to Populate TransientVO which is shown has a ADF Read Only Table in page.
I have couple of Check Boxes Based on their selection I am trying to render and hide certain Columns.
But the Issue which I am facing is only the Column Header seems to change where as the Rows and Values doesnt..
even If I apply the expression language rendering condition on the outputText inside those columns.. ..
So I am thinking to add and remove VO Attribute columns to the table from backing bean.
Need some sample code snippet or a better design to achieve this. Its kind of urgent too...having an aggressive deadline :(
Please chip in People..
Thanks in Advance .

Field Name Description Value (For: E.g.:)
CON_NAME Logical name for a database RAJ
DBMS Database system MSS
USER_NAME Database user <username>

Clear a table from cache

hi there,
I am currently trying to analyse the number of physical reads needed to perform certain queries to see which one is best.
I am not getting accurate results because the table is being cached after the first query.
Basically, my question is how can I remove the table from the cache, so I can read the table from the disk with each query?
I have tried the nocache paremeter an i do not have permissions to do:
alter system flush buffer_cache;
or
alter system flush shared_pool;
Any help here would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
you should tune your query regarding consistent gets and CPU time, because disk reads may change and it's simply not real running a DB without Buffercache.
Shared Pool has nothing todo with bufferchache. You store parsed SQLs, PL/SQL and the Data Dictionary in it.
To get your table out of the buffercache drop and recreate it if you don't have dba rights.

How to add business logic before populating the read only tables.

Hi All
Could you please suggest something for the following requirement:
I want to populate read only tables from the data control pallete(Based on VO) into the jsff. But Before populating the table I want to add conditions based on what the data should appear in the table.
For e.g:
There is a VO fetching the completed and pending tasks by the user. Only one VO is there to fetch the tasks but different tables are used to show the pending and completed tasks..I have created the bind variable for the task status.
Shall I need to add business logic in the backing bean for jsff which is having the setter and getter for the tables.
Regards,
Kanika

Hi,
why don't you specify ViewCriteria on the View Object you use and use a bind variable to filter the table data? You can apply ViewCriteria in the AM data model so that they only show e.g. completed tasks, or you can assign a view criteria that uses bind variables, in which case the table is filtered dynamically by the value of the bind variable, or you use Java code to dynamically apply the View Criterias

Readind APO tables from ECC ABAP program

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to read APO tables from a ABAP program in ECC 6.0.
If it is possible , please lt me know how?
Regards

Hi,
There's a remote-enabled function module (think it's either RFC_READ_TABLE or RFC_TABLE_READ) which you can pass a table name, some selection criteria and a list of fields to be returned. That should allow you to read those table entries from the remote system.

Trace on deletion from dictionary table

Hi all experts,
we can't figure out why some dictionary tables containing a thousands and thousands of documents are almost empty... :-@ Probably someone (who?) did run a report (what?) and cleared almost a table on a training SRM system.. We'd like to ask you if there's a way to check for modification on a table, e.g. a sort of trace, that could help us clarifying what happened on some dictionary tables's contents.
Please can anyone provide a sort of howto? We passed from a BBP_PDHGP table containing a million of entries, while now it has less that one thousand....

We found out that a scheduled job had stored the table contents just few ours before the deleting process had been started.
We just restored the table from that backup.
However, if the removed entries have been traced in system tables for modification, you could try to take a look at CDPOS/CDHDR tables in order to rebuild and historical trace of the modification that have been occourred (with timestamps).
Good luck!

How to read .xls file from FTP server t oInternal table

but the data i get in LT_TEXT is special characters.

TCPIP_ERROR = 1
COMMAND_ERROR = 2
DATA_ERROR = 3
OTHERS = 4
can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank You

Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

Hi OraSuirya,
you can try with external tables .
syntax as follows
create table ext_table_csv (
i Number,
n Varchar2(20),
m Varchar2(20)
organization external (
type oracle_loader
default directory ext_dir
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('file.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
For this you need to create directory
Directory Creation syntax:
create or replace directory ext_dir as 'D:\oracle\user_dir\ext_dir';
grant read, write on directory ext_dir to <User>;
please paste the excel file in the particular directory .
I hope this will help you.
Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere .
Thanks,
Tippu.

How to read the data from an internal table,when column names are known

Hi All
I have a specific requirement. I got an internal table with many fields (let it be my_tab). Some of the fieldnames (column names in internal table my_tab) are stored in separate internal table(let it be my_fields).
I need to store/read data corresponding to the fields (whose name is stored in my_fields) from my_tab.
I am able to build dynamic table (referred by field-symbol) with respect to the given field names in my_fields.
But i am unable to read the data corresponding to the fieldnames from my_tab.
Please provide me some pointer in this regard.
