Dynamic Table or Ref type in RFC parameters

Former Member — Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:43:36 GMT

Hello All,

I am searching for possibilities for creating table with dynamic field size in RFC.

But as it gives following message when I use Ref as table field.

"No reference types are allowed for RFC" .

I have requirement to get output fields values of only those which are in mentioned in input.

As of in standard RFC "RFC_READ_TABLE" is controlling output fields by FIELDS table

But what I am looking for is if I am giving 2 field in input then output table's size should be of total size of 2 fields in input.

Means the size is all depends on input fields.

The other way, I think, is a table field of string type.

So at time of actually value is assigned to that field the size would be decided .

Appreciate any help.

Regards.

I understand the technical issue you have (a parameter containing TYPE REF TO is forbidden in an RFC-enabled function module), and the technical workaround you propose (using a parameter of type XSTRING or STRING for containing anything of any size), so you could go for data serialization using the identity transformation (CALL TRANSFORMATION ID SOURCE dobj = dynamicdobj RESULT XML xstring).
