Hi Munish,

You have to develop a custom BAPI/RFC FM for this.

Hi Prabhu,

I know but I am trying to find standard FM/BAPI to do this on this forum.

I'm curious - how do you think such FM would even look like? What would it return exactly and in which form? A table of type ANY? How do you think this would work?

My friend Jelena,

There are FMs exists but not remote enabled..........but i am trying to fins standard SAP Remote FM/BAPI for the same.

Output will in a table which will have only one field of type string or char256.

I have explored one of the FM "INST_EXECUTE_REPORT" which does that and also remote enabled but this FM doesnt execute report with selection criteria........i need that as well.

Hi Nanda,

This Fm "RSDR_RUN_REPORT" run the report with selection screen paramters but doesn't give back the results in internal table.

This will limit the FM to the reports that are capable of returning such output (e.g. ABAP lists). If, for example, a report has an ALV output then I seriously doubt this would work.

You were asking previously for essentially a universal function, which could run any report. It's not difficult to find an FM that would start a report, but data return from the report - that's where I see a challenge.

If you're willing to limit such FM to certain types of reports then it will probably be easier/faster to create your own FM anyway. Since there is a lot riding on an assumption, I'd want more control over the program and SAP might change their FMs at any time.
