Import from database

[dmi]

Hello Experts

I need to get the information from the table STXFCONT.

In a ABAP-Report I do that in this way:

"import t_ntokens from database stxfcont(xx) id i_formname"

The result is in the table t_ntokens - all ok

But in AbapObject, I get a syntax-error.

What is the correct syntax to read this table.

Thanks a lot

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

As well as the statement IMPORT you can, if necessary, use the methods of the following classes:

CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_MEM

CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_SHMEM

CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_SHBUF

CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_DB

CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_CONV

These subclasses of the abstract system class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP extend the functionality of the statements for data clusters. They allow you to access data clusters in the individual storage media, of which only parts of the identifier <b>id</b> or of the area <b>ar</b> are specified, by determining the complete key.

Don't forget to reward points!

Cheers,

Sougata.

What syntax error do you get?

Oh, sorry, I forgot this little detail, sorry

The message is:

IMPORT Var_1 ...Var_n FROM DATABASE is not supported in the OO

And another important detail, my code must running in Rel. 4.6

so I cant use the CL_ABAP_EXP*

Thanks and have a nice day

I think you may need to use:

import t_ntokens = t_ntokens from database stxfcont(xx) id i_formname

or (less recommended by SAP):

import t_ntokens from t_ntokens from database stxfcont(xx) id i_formname

because "<i>When data clusters are exported and imported, explicit names must be specified in ABAP objects for the exported data objects. The notation with an equals sign (=) should be preferred to the old additions FROM and TO.</i>"
