The error message is pretty much clear - "You cannot use generic types in RFM"

May be you can elaborate on your business requirement a lil' bit so that we can propose some genuine alternatives.

hi saha ,

Requirement is :

Input : table name ( can be ekko,ekpo,vbap,any).

output : i have to fetch 5000 records from the input table, output type has to be assigned as runtime, for that i have to declare table as any .

Do you really need this FM as RFC enabled? If so, you cannot use generic types (the system needs to generate proper interfaces internally).

You have to use ie. 3 different output parameters.

hi Uwe ,

I have developed the code inside BAPI, so FM should be an RFC, Example function module is 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY', is also an remote enabled .

can you make clear regarding 3 output parameters .

Is the Function Module a BAPI or is it called within a BAPI?

If the FM is just called within the system itself, it doesn't have to be an RFC (you are not calling it from outside SAP) and you can use generic parameters.

Hi Goudham,

I tried creating the RFC FM with table parameters as any. I'm facing the error as you.

Now I copied the SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY to ZFM and commeneted the Perform in the source code. I face no errors.

So you could copy the any existing RFC FM with tables parameter as TYPE  ANY to Z FM and change other parameter name to your desired name.

I know this is not the correct approach but this is the only solution at this momment.

Hi Goudham,

And also not to forget all the parameters should be declared as 'Pass by value'.

Hi all ,

Thanks to Uwe, when FM is not remote enabled, i can able to give type any in output table, but having small problem in that.

Input parameter : EKPO

Output parameter : ET_TAB

requirement : 5000 rows

rows are getting fetched, when entries are xplored, nothing is showing, only blank field is displaying.

any more to be done in coding or anyother area .

regards
