Hi All,

I have a requirement to read a DB2 table(in our landscape) from the ABAP program. I appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,

Connecting to an External database from SAP

Step 1: Create an entry for the External database in DBCON table using Trxn: DBCA.

Table: DBCON (Description of Database Connections)

Field Name Description Value (For: E.g.:)

CON_NAME Logical name for a database RAJ

DBMS Database system MSS

USER_NAME Database user <username>

PASSWORD Password for setting up the connection to the database <pwd>/<pwd>

CON_ENV Database-specific information for a database connection MSSQL_SERVER=depotserver MSSQL_DBNAME=HOF_INDORE

DB_RECO Availability type for an open database connect

Step 2: Now you can write code to connect to the external database…

Your Sample code can be something like this……

FUNCTION-POOL z_houston. "MESSAGE-ID ..

DATA: BEGIN OF wa,

c_locid(3),

c_locname(50),

c_locstate(5),

END OF wa.

FUNCTION z_houston_connect.

*"----

""Local interface:

*"----

EXEC SQL.

CONNECT TO 'RAJ' AS 'V'

ENDEXEC.

EXEC SQL.

SET CONNECTION 'V'

ENDEXEC.

*- Get the data from MS-SQL Server

EXEC SQL.

open C1 for

select

loc_id,

loc_name,

loc_state

from ho_loc_mast

ENDEXEC.

DO.

EXEC SQL.

FETCH NEXT C1 into :wa-c_locid, :wa-c_locname, :wa-c_locstate

ENDEXEC.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

PERFORM loop_output.

ELSE.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

EXEC SQL.

CLOSE C1

ENDEXEC.

ENDFUNCTION.

&----

*& Form LOOP_OUTPUT

&----

Output

----

FORM loop_output .

WRITE: /5 wa-c_locid, 10 wa-c_locname, 65 wa-c_locstate.

CLEAR wa.

ENDFORM. " LOOP_OUTPUT
