fetching data from 'Z' clusters

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We an existing 'Z' cluster in the HR system.I want to know that how we can read data from such 'Z' clusters.

I tried finding reagrding macros and other methods but it seems that macros can be used to read standard cluster tables.

Please provide your inputs for the same.

Hi,

As you already know cluster table stores the data in LRAW format,

Let;s say i have one cluster table and i m inserting wmara inside the cluster table.

While reading it back i need to use the same structure so ,, find out how u r editing that perticular table. same strucure u can use to read it back.

Hello Shlesha,

Do you mean cluster tables or data cluster(INDX type tables)?

If you want to read data from INDX table you've to use [IMPORT FROM DATABASE|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_702/en/abapimport_medium.htm#!ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_4@4@] statement.

Cheers,

Suhas

PS: You can use the same statement to read custom data clusters. It is not restricted to INDX only!

Hi Suhas,

I mean its a cluster table which is customized table.Import and export does not work in the case of 'Z' cluster tables
