Update to RFC_READ_TABLE function

Caio Jordão Calisto
[Email redacted]
Hi Jimbo.

First of all, thanks for all your efforts on maintain and share your knowledge regarding the LSWM and SAP Data connections. I'm writing you, and I don't know if it's too late for that, because recently I use your code to integrate ms access and SAP. This code was found in answer to an anonymous question, where you told that you didn't know if the RFC_READ_TABLE accepts more than one Option (Where condition). In fact, it accepts as part of the same string with the END Clause. So, I've updated your code and that's why i'm here, to share with you this update. Feel free to share in your website, if you want to.

I See two ways to improve this code: First, the login box should appear once allowing the programmer to process different tables without having to login again. And the second One, with the update of SAP GUI, the file SAPLogon.INI (Which is the file from where the login window of VBA pulls the information regarding the systems) is no longer used, and it was replaced by an XML file. I'll try to figure out a way to generate a login box with the updated file, and if I achieve it, i'll share with you.

Cutover

Our company is doing a cutover to a new SAP. The system has the potential of being down for 3 to 16 days. I will be recording all of our packaged products. I plan on using Userforms that log all the information in excel sheets for my tech's to use while SAP is down. I know that i have to save the spreadsheets to TXT delimited before trying to use LSMW. My question is there any certain way i need to have the spreadsheet set up as far as format? I have never used LSMW before so it will be a learning experience to say the least. Any other information or direction would be appreciated.

LSMW GP12N

Hi,
I am trying to load a text file in to T-code GP12N using LSMW.
I am new to LSMW and do not have ABAP knowhow.

I can create a simple LSMW. However GP12N needs to enter Header data in the initial screen and then further rows of data in the next screen. I can provide more details if required.

I would like to know how to enter data in the second screen where I have a number of rows to enter - how to repeat rows in the second screen before saving and moving back to enter header data again.

I need to create a Task List operation and then apply a package

I need to create a new task list operation on an existing task list, and then apply the maintenance package to the created operation line.
I can create the recording to select the task list and add the new operation line, but I cannot get it to then select the created line and move to the next step of adding the package.
I have used the code OBSE to select an operation line in other LSMWs I have created, but these rely on the operation number being specified in the loadsheet. In this case, the new operation line number is an known.

How to define "where" clause for RFC_READ_TABLE ?

Hello,

I'm trying to define a where clause for the RFC_READ_TABLE function like so:

RFC_READ_TABLE("KNA1", "tblKNA1", "KUNNR,KTOKD,NAME1")

Where KUNNR = "260*" and KTOKD In ("9026","9017").

Could you tell me please where can i define this inside the code ?

Also, is it possible to export the table generated into a text file ? (not to overload the database.)

Thank you.

Would you recommend giving end users access to LSMW?

I have some people in management telling us that we should push out the usage of this transaction to the business users. I disagree as this transaction is very powerful. Can you provide some guidance?
