Hello Kicha,

If you are using JCo, you can use (call) any RFC enabled function modules and not limited to BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface - from SAP Glossary).

BUPA_NUMBERS_GET - takes either partner id or partner guid. This return name, address, created by . This is the only such module that returns all you needed. The contents are available in table BUT000

Check with your SAP ABAP developer to get the input / output parameter details since this is not a BAPI, but an RFC.

Hi Easwar Ram

Thanks for your kind reply, it really helped me.

Please let me know if there is any JCo sample code to access the Table and it's data.

When I tried

JCO.Function function = getFunction("RFC_READ_TABLE");

JCO.ParameterList listParams = function.getImportParameterList();

listParams.setValue("BUT000", "QUERY_TABLE");

listParams.setValue(5, "ROWCOUNT");

JCO.Table tableList = function.getTableParameterList().getTable("OPTIONS"); //also FIELDS

but I am getting the following exception

com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$AbapException: (126) DATA_BUFFER_EXCEEDED: Selected fields do not fit into structure DATA

at com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Function.getException(JCO.java:14371)

at com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Client.execute(JCO.java:2678)

at JcoBpTest.main(JcoBpTest.java:24)

Is this a right way using it if not what should be ? And when do we directly make use of the Table like BUT000

Please let us know you input.

You better call the function module BUPA_NUMBERS_GET instead of reading the table. As I told you, it is a good practice NOT to do direct access to the tables. If you are using JCo and you need what you told you need in your first message, then use the function module I suggested and don't make a table read.

Don't be in a haste. Read, learn, understand and code.
