How to log input parameters for Function Modules?

Former Member — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 12:06:34 GMT

Hi,

I need to create a Logging system to trace input parameters for function modules.

The log functionality could be done by developing a class method or a function module (For example 'write_log'), and calling it within each function module that I want to log. The 'write_log' code should be independent from the interface of the Function Module that I want to log.

For example, I'd like to write a function/class method that can log both these functions modules:

Function DummyA

Input parameters: A1 type char10, A2 type char10.

Function DummyB

Input parameters: B1 type char20, B2 type char20, B3 type char20, B4 type Z_MYSTRUCTURE

Now the questions...

- Is there a "standard SAP" function that provide this functionality?

- If not, is there a system variable in which I can access runtime all parameters name, type and value for a particular function module?

- If not, how can I loop at Input parameters in a way that is independent from the function module interface?

Thank you in advance for helping!

Do you want to get this log in SLG1?

hi tronci,

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

converts any number into a string fill with zeroes, with the number at the extreme right

Example:

input = 123

output = 0000000000000...000000000000123

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT

converts any number with zeroes right into a simple integer

Example:

input = 00000000000123

output = 123

try.....if it is helpfull please reward me some points

with the FM call the FM FUNCTION_IMPORT_INTERFACE to get the interface signature details of your function , and then using the parameter names, you can get the value from the rutime and log it.

(i am sure there should be a better way - something like system variable giving these info, will look for it and if i find will update)

Regards

Raja

Hi Vikas,

cheers for replying.

Using the SLG1 function group is not essential.

Hi Durairaj,

seems that FUNCTION_IMPORT_INTERFACE provides a way to solve the problem!

I'm going to try this function, and see if I can get all the information I need.

Thank you very much

Using FUNCTION_IMPORT_INTERFACE I'm able to retrieve all the parameters and their type.

Now how can I access the runtime environment to retrieve the value?

check this sample code. here i am capturing only parameters (import) values. you can extend this to capture tables, changin, etc.
