Reference variable in RFC

Former Member — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:20:20 GMT

Hi,

I have created one RFC in which there are importing and table variables. All these variables are simple type variables and none of them is type ref to variable.

When i am trying to activate the RFC it is throwing information message that it is not allowed to use reference variable in RFC. Although there is no reference variable in RFC but still this message is coming and preventing from activating the RFC.

RFC is syntactically correct and it is working fine if i changed this function module to normal function module from Remotly enabled.

Any help?

Thanks,

Rahul

Remote Function module doesnt allow reference types.

It only allows pass by value.

In remote enabled function module an associated type must be specified with pass by value.

But what you said can be acheived in normal function module.

Hi,

Are you using any optional import or export parameters in your RFC. I think it wont accept if there any optional variables.

It should be either pass by value or both pass by value and optional.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Lakshman.

Hi Lakshman,

Thanks,

For table parameters did you use LIKE typing ?

Have you used LIKE or TYPE for any of the parameters?

I have solved the problem my own, actually i didn't check the Pass Value checkbox. RFC is activated.

As per your query i understad that you are not specifying a associated type for the import/export parameters.

In RFC its must.

Why cant you create a structure or a table type and use it.

From the remote call how will you pass a parameter without structure.

for example :how will you generate interface for proxy without a associated type.
