RPAQ_GET_AF_0168 Inconsistent Results

[Former Member]

I used this FM successfully in another program so when I needed it again I just copied what I had and used it:

CALL FUNCTION 'RPAQ_GET_AF_0168'
    EXPORTING
      c_it0168  = gv_pa0168
    IMPORTING
      af_values = gv_p0168_af
    TABLES
      af_fields = gt_rhtext_field.

However, even if I pass the exactly same PA0168 record in the new program the structure gv_p0168_af is "empty" (all initial values) whereas the other program, with the same 168 record, returns actual results.

I'm at a loss. Any ideas as to what might be going on?

Hello Steve,

2 recommendations:

- check the structures for EXPORTING, IMPORTING and TABLES. They have to be 100% consistent with the FM parameters.

- debug the FM, specifically where the information you are expecting is taken from.

In my opinion, this "non-delivery" (as the message says) can only be caused by a parameter-inconsistency. Even one missing byte in a data element can cause such an unexpected trouble.

I wish you the best in your investigation. Hope this helps,

Hi,

Check the declearation for gv_pa0168, gv_pa0168_af and also table.

Duh.

I forgot to append table rhtext_field with the field name I wanted returned. Thanks for the help.

If you check the main program for this FM, I think you'll find that it checks the name of the program or transaction code or both and behaves differently in different cases.
