Difficult problem with t-code CU50

[Former Member]

Good day to all;

I have a very interesting problem here that I'm hoping some of you can help me with.

I'm trying to derive a set of Characteristics and Values for a configurable material, using the Variant Configuration Simulator (CU50).

When you execute the simulator, giving it a configurable Material # and Plant, it takes you to the Characteristic Value Assignment screen. Within this list, we have a Characteristic that will take a value and (upon hitting ENTER) return a list of default Characteristics & Values for that configurable Material.

I've been trying to find a way to simulate this process by using some of the transaction's code, but I'm starting to find that it is simply too complex an application - moving data back and forth between Function Pools CUKO, CEIO, and CUOV.

Is there a way that I can execute the transaction from a custom program and pick up the resulting data, either through memory or by somehow calling specific pieces of transaction? From what I can tell initially, this might not even be possible because these Function Pools are even passing data back and forth through memory.

If anyone has encountered anything similar or has an idea of how I might achieve this, I would greatly appreciate it.

... and thanks.
