ABAP Source Code

Former Member — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 07:01:09 GMT

Hi all,

Can anyone let me know where is the source code of a report stored

in the application server.

I know that we can read the source code using "Read Report" statement

and this doesnt use any table as the trace doesnt show me any table queried for source code.

Regards,

Simin.R

Please refer to this thread

Also

. in which table and in which field the source code gets

Table = REPOSRC

(But the source code is stored in RAW / Encoded format,

and we cannot read directly)

2. For reading we have to use READ REPORT syntax

3. Just copy paste

(it will read the report, and download)

(U can change the program name and filename)

REPORT ABC.

DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

F(72) TYPE C,

END OF ITAB.

READ REPORT 'ZAM_TEMP00' INTO ITAB.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = 'D:\PRG.TXT'

TABLES

DATA_TAB = ITAB

Hi,

Z-reports code is stored in files.

If you want use report code in a program, use the ABAP instruction "READ REPORT <prgm name> into itab".

Names of ABAP programs and Includes can be found in SAP table TRDIR and REPOSRC.

Thanks,

CSR.

In the application server it will be stored in some Memory areas..with the program name ..Like how the Long texts are stored

So when we retrive it take the program name from Database table and with that name it searches the application server memory areas and picks up that and brings
