may be u have to pass some data into the table and it will return the final data within the table.

[Former Member]

Yes i pass data in but is that data going to be avaible to me in code if it doesn't export back out

Hi,

It will return you the populated internal table back.

Check the code in the FM K_COSTELEM_BAPI_GETLIST.

This function module is calling this function module.

Thanks

Oh even if there isnt an export statement

The output returned by the function module is an internal table of generic type. Its structure would be based on what it returns; which again would be dependent upon how it is called.

For example you can have a program that returns back vendor or customer master records (LFA1 or KNA1) based on how it is called. The program can have just one output parameter, i.e. internal table of type generic, which would contain internal table of LFA1 if it was called to get vendor master record; or would contain internal table of type KNA1 if it is called to get customer master record.

This is same scenario with the function module that you are trying to call. You can store its results in an internal table, say MY_TEMP_TBL, which should be defined in your program as:

DATA: MY_TEMP_TBL OCCURS 0.

Use this as parameter to receive IT_RESULT parameter of your function module.

You can store its results in variable L_RESULT, which should be defined as

Ignore last line in my previous reply. Forgot to delete it.

so shoud I use the bapi or the FM

[Former Member]

Use the same function module that you are using.

Get the export parameter in the temporary field defined in your program (as described in my previous note).

[Former Member]

Use same function module K_COSTELEM_SELECT. No need to change your code.

[Former Member]

thanks. SO do I just you a read or append statment to load into the table?

1. First, execute/debug your program to see whether the table is really getting populated after the function call.

2. Then you can read the table in your program by simple internal-table READ statement or loop through it to get the records. You may have to first assign the received parameter to a FIELD-SYMBOL variable before you read it. Field-symbol documentation is available at:

Hope it helped to resolve your problem.
