hi Abapers ,

Recently i have faced one main problem that

“how to get the Alv output of Standard /already developed report OR output of some transaction in our function module ” .. ?

because nobody wants to write the same report code again in FM(function module ) , just to make that Alv output

data remotely enabled and accessed/display by any front end technology .

so , here i found some interesting concept to accomplish it .

We need to call the SET method of the class CL_SALV_BS_RUNTIME_INFO as shown below :

CALL METHOD cl_salv_bs_runtime_info=>set EXPORTING display = abap_false metadata = abap_false

data = abap_true.

What this does is to tell the system that the report has to be running with no DISPLAY no METADATA on only get the ALV DATA.

2. Z* report where i used the SUBMIT Statement so call the standard report .

SUBMIT “report_name” AND RETURN .

The AND RETURN addition ensures that the the control is returned to the calling program .
You can use the various other additions of the SUBMIT statement to pass on the selection screen parameters .

eg : SUBMIT “report_name” WITH parameter1 = value AND RETURN.

3. Next use the GetDataRef method of the class CL_SALV_BS_RUNTIME_INFO to get the actual data into a local object type ref’ed to DATA.

DATA obj_data TYPE REF TO data .
FIELD-SYMBOLS : TYPE ANY TABLE .

TRY. CALL METHOD cl_salv_bs_runtime_info=>get_data_ref IMPORTING

r_data = obj_data.

ASSIGN obj_data->* TO .

CATCH cx_salv_bs_sc_runtime_info .
ENDTRY.

IF IS ASSIGNED. it_final[] = .

ENDIF.

4. The data from the ALV should now be in the fs_data Field-Symbol. We can now change or do any further validations on it.

5. it_final is your output internal table in function module ( that you specify in export or table parameter ).

6. Now you have ALV output in it_final internal table ,so by making your FM remote enabled any external system can display

report ALV output data .

so here is my source code :

DATA obj_data TYPE REF TO data . FIELD-SYMBOLS : TYPE ANY TABLE . CALL METHOD cl_salv_bs_runtime_info=>set EXPORTING display = abap_false metadata = abap_false
