From time to time we can't use standard reporting tools, but ABAP. And if you don't know peculiarities of TRM tables it will be quite complicated task.

But functional module LDB_PROCESS (help.sap.com) can handle this situation. The module works in close connection with Logical databases which contain selection options and settings for data selection.

Important feature of the LDB_PROCESS is that it allows you to analyze your result data as a whole instead of on a line-by-line basis. It is usefull, in order to agregate the result data or calculate an averge values. SAP Query can't handle such situations.

TIPS:

  1. You must specify technical names in uppercase letters
  2. Some selection parameters are mandatory, while another group of selection paramenters dynamically turn into mandatory parameters when you select certain characteristics.
  3. Callback process is carried out via a subroutine, which requires to strore the results data in global table. We can get the results from global table and work with them further.
  4. Functional module LDB_PROCESS doesn't contain interface for transfering messages that are issued by called LDB. You can transfer the messages for LDB using external memory.
  5. You have to react to the EXCEPTIONS of LBD_PROCESS function module.

Example: ABAP code will be similar to selection screen of LDB FTI_TR_POSITIONS
