Hello,

There is a nice wiki that explains this - please see https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Using+Application+Log

Thank you for the reply!!

I don't understand your issue, you have both the log number and log handle in BAL_DB_SEARCH.

[RaymondGiuseppi]

From BAL_DB_SEARCH with somer filter criteria passed to i_s_log_filter you get an internal table of log header in e_t_log_header (BALHDR)

so you could for example

• Read the log data with BAL_DB_LOAD

and then (in a loop)

• Read header data (at new log_handle) with BAL_LOG_HDR_READ
• Read messages with BAL_LOG_MSG_READ

What is your exact requirement?

The exact requirement is to enter a specific log handle and get log number as the output in a variable. I have managed to get the log number, now it needs to be put inside a variable.

[RaymondGiuseppi]

• Fill the range LOG_HANDLE of deep structure I_S_LOG_FILTER with a record containing I/EQ/values/initial values (e.g. code similar to the code in BAL_FILTER_CREATE)
• Call BAL_DB_SEARCH
• Check for errors
• Loop at returned internal table E_T_LOG_HEADER for value(s) of field LOGNUMBER
• Move the value to a variable (internal table of variables)
