Reading Source code from different system

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Using the syntax READ REPORT , I can read the source code of a report into an internal table (in same system).

However what if I need to read the source code of System B from System A.

Are there any RFC which we can use to read the source code of a report in two different systems which are connected.

Thanks,

Faiz

HI faizur,

you can use the Tcode SE39 to see the codes of different server.Usually this tcode is used to compare the source code of different system.

Or you can use Program RS_WB_SPLIT_EDITOR.

Hi,

Try

FUNCTION 'RPY_PROGRAM_READ'

Regards.

TYPES: tp_include_tab TYPE TABLE OF rpy_repo .

TYPES: tp_source_extended_tab TYPE TABLE OF abaptxt255  .



*----------------------------------------------------------------------*

FORM do_rpy_program_read

  USING

    program TYPE program

    rfcdest TYPE rfcdest

  CHANGING

    it_include         TYPE tp_include_tab

    it_source_extended TYPE tp_source_extended_tab .



  CALL FUNCTION 'RPY_PROGRAM_READ' DESTINATION rfcdest

      program_name              = program

            .

  IF sy-subrc NE 0.

*    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

Faizurrehman,

              Yes RFC is required to get data.Better way is to create the Function Module as RFC and than write all code of report in Function module and take the output in tables parameter . If you want data from system B so you have to create Function Module on system B and than create your report program on system A and use following syntax to call RFC FM

    "lv_rfc: Name of RFC FM that is on system A

    "lv_destination:RFC destination which has been created through SM59 for system B

    CALL FUNCTION lv_rfc_name DESTINATION lv_destination
      EXPORTING
        e_field                = e_field
      IMPORTING
        return                = return
      TABLES
        data                  = data
      EXCEPTIONS
        system_failure        = 1000  MESSAGE lv_exc_msg
        communication_failure = 1001  MESSAGE lv_exc_msg
        OTHERS                = 1002.

Hope this will help.

thanks & Regards,
