Problems with the function RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES

Former Member — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:42:06 GMT

Hi experts,

We have a external application named P-Synch that is used when a user needs to change or unlock their password on our SAP system. The problem we are presenting is that in our PBP system the application is working fine but in our BW and XI environment when the P-Synch application call the function RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES in SAP it can't take the result of the field 'expiration_date' because for some reason the output for this field is not in the same position that is in the PBP system.

Example:

This are the output that we receive in the environments with the function RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES :

PBP:
000001ú320020401*99991231*AESSUSER

BWP:
0000200408039999*1231AESS*USER

As you see in PBP P-Synch can take the expiration date (in bold) in the correct position '99991231'.... but for some reason in BWP the function present the expiration date in the incorrect position '1231AESS', for that reason the P-Synch application can't change or unlock the user of a person because terminate with error with the expiration date.

Exist a way that I can fix this?

Thanks a lot!

Hello Carlos,

Few days back i also faced some problem with the RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES.

May be you can try with RFC_READ_TABLE instead. Not much difference in the way you call the 2 FMs. From my experience i can tell, RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES returns some garbage characters which RFC_READ_TABLE does not.

For details refer to this [link|;.

Hello Carlos,

Few qns:
