READ REPORT - External systems

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have to compare programs from two different systems. I cannot use version (this is not an option).

I can do READ REPORT to read each line of code and compare, however is there a FM or RFC that will allow me to read code in another system.

Is there a RFC or BAPI that will allow me to do this? Please be more specific and detailed as I am new to SAP and ABAP.

Thank you,

Rahim.

Experts,

I did find RFC_READ_REPORT, however nothing happens when I test it in SE37.

When I looked at the source code: everything is commented and I don't want to change standard SAP FM.

FUNCTION RFC_READ_REPORT.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Lokale Schnittstelle:
*"       IMPORTING
*"             VALUE(PROGRAM) LIKE  SY-REPID
*"       EXPORTING
*"             VALUE(SYSTEM) LIKE  SY-SYSID
*"             VALUE(TRDIR) LIKE  TRDIR STRUCTURE  TRDIR
*"       TABLES
*"              QTAB STRUCTURE  D022S
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*  REFRESH QTAB.
*  READ REPORT PROGRAM INTO QTAB.
*  SELECT SINGLE * FROM TRDIR WHERE NAME = PROGRAM.
*  SYSTEM = SY-SYSID.
ENDFUNCTION.

Any Ideas?

Experts,

So I did figure out that RFC_READ_REPORT is not released yet.

However, my question still stands, how do I access source code from different system?

Thanks,

Hi,

Use the T.Code : SE39( split screen editor) and use the "Compare different systems" option to compare the report in two different systems.

Only constraint is the RFC Destinations needs to be created.

The note 931423 says that you need the function RFC_READ_REPORT is no longer recommended.

You need to use RPY_PROGRAM_READ function. I tested it and it works fine.

Hope it helps!
