Hi Guys,
I am trying to use this RFC to get a dump of any specified SAP table to Excel. So far with a help for another example I have come up with this:
-
Sub Get_table()
Dim R3, MyFunc, App As Object
Dim ENTRIES, ROW As Object
Dim Result As Boolean
Dim iRow, iColumn, iStart, iStartRow As Integer
iStartRow = 4
Worksheets(1).Select
Cells.Clear
'**********************************************
'Create Server object and Setup the connection
'**********************************************
Set R3 = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
R3.Connection.System = "SEQ"
R3.Connection.client = "200"
R3.Connection.language = "EN"
If R3.Connection.logon(0, False) <> True Then
Exit Sub
End If
'*****************************************************
'Call RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES
'*****************************************************
Set MyFunc = R3.Add("RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES")
Dim oParam1 As Object
Dim oParam2 As Object
Dim oParam3 As Object
Dim oParam4 As Object
Dim oParam5 As Object
Set oParam1 = MyFunc.exports("TABLE_NAME")
oParam1.Value = frmQuery.txtTableName
' Form contains a field with a table name that a user needs to fill in
Set oParam2 = MyFunc.exports("FROM_KEY")
Set oParam3 = MyFunc.exports("GEN_KEY")
Set oParam4 = MyFunc.exports("BYPASS_BUFFER")
Set oParam5 = MyFunc.exports("TO_KEY")
oParam2.Value = ""
oParam3.Value = ""
oParam4.Value = ""
oParam5.Value = ""
oParam6.Value = ""
Result = MyFunc.CALL
If Result = True Then
Set ENTRIES = MyFunc.Tables("ENTRIES")
Else
MsgBox MyFunc.EXCEPTION
R3.Connection.LOGOFF
Exit Sub
End If
R3.Connection.LOGOFF
If Result <> True Then
MsgBox (EXCEPTION)
Exit Sub
End If
-
This is as far as I got really.
An example I used was using a different RFC call to get the data: (TABLE_ENTRIES_GET_VIA_RFC) and it had additional lines of code for filling in the Excel worksheet with the data. I have tried to modify that code to get it working with the data I get from RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES but failed miserably - VB is not my first or even second language
Could you please help me with this task? I need a bit of code that will put the data into the worksheet

Hello Rafal,
try this:
Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Dim R3, MyFunc, App As Object
Dim ENTRIES As SAPTableFactoryCtrl.Table
Dim Row As SAPTableFactoryCtrl.Row
Dim Result As Boolean
Dim iRow, iColumn, iStart, iStartRow As Integer
Dim i As Long
iStartRow = 4
Worksheets(1).Select
Cells.Clear
'**********************************************
'Create Server object and Setup the connection
'**********************************************
Set R3 = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
R3.Connection.System = "NSP"
R3.Connection.Client = "000"
R3.Connection.User = "BCUSER"
R3.Connection.Language = "DE"
If R3.Connection.logon(0, False) <> True Then
Exit Sub
End If
'*****************************************************
'Call RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES
'*****************************************************
Set MyFunc = R3.Add("RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES")
Dim oParam1 As Object
Dim oParam2 As Object
Dim oParam3 As Object
Dim oParam4 As Object
Dim oParam5 As Object
Set oParam1 = MyFunc.exports("TABLE_NAME")
oParam1.Value = "CREP_HTTP"
'Form contains a field with a table name that a user needs to fill in
Set oParam2 = MyFunc.exports("FROM_KEY")
Set oParam3 = MyFunc.exports("GEN_KEY")
Set oParam4 = MyFunc.exports("BYPASS_BUFFER")
Set oParam5 = MyFunc.exports("TO_KEY")
oParam2.Value = ""
oParam3.Value = ""
oParam4.Value = ""
oParam5.Value = ""
Result = MyFunc.CALL
If Result = True Then
Set ENTRIES = MyFunc.Tables("ENTRIES")
Else
MsgBox MyFunc.EXCEPTION
R3.Connection.LOGOFF
Exit Sub
End If
R3.Connection.LOGOFF
'>Fills the Excel sheet<
For i = 1 To ENTRIES.RowCount
Set Row = ENTRIES.Rows(i)
Cells(i + iStartRow, 1) = Row.Value("WA")
Next
If Result <> True Then
MsgBox (MyFunc.EXCEPTION)
Exit Sub
End If
End SubHope it helps.
Cheers

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your help. I had to change the code a little bit as not everything was working. The whole thing looks like this now:
-
Sub Get_table()
Dim R3, MyFunc, App As Object
Dim ENTRIES As Object
Dim Row As Object
Dim Result As Boolean
Dim iRow, iColumn, iStart, iStartRow As Integer
Dim i As Long
iStartRow = 4
Worksheets(1).Select
Cells.Clear
'**********************************************
'Create Server object and Setup the connection
'**********************************************
Set R3 = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
R3.Connection.System = "System"
R3.Connection.client = "200"
R3.Connection.user = "user"
R3.Connection.password = ""
R3.Connection.language = "EN"
If R3.Connection.logon(0, False) <> True Then
Exit Sub
End If
'*****************************************************
'Call RFC function TABLE_ENTRIES_GET_VIA_RFC
'*****************************************************
Set MyFunc = R3.Add("RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES")
Dim oParam1 As Object
'Dim oParam2 As Object
Dim oParam3 As Object
Dim oParam4 As Object
Dim oParam5 As Object
Dim oParam6 As Object
Set oParam1 = MyFunc.exports("TABLE_NAME")
oParam1.Value = frmQuery.txtTableName
'Set oParam2 = MyFunc.exports("MAX_ENTRIES")
'oParam2.Value = "20"
Set oParam3 = MyFunc.exports("FROM_KEY")
Set oParam4 = MyFunc.exports("GEN_KEY")
Set oParam5 = MyFunc.exports("BYPASS_BUFFER")
Set oParam6 = MyFunc.exports("TO_KEY")
oParam3.Value = ""
oParam4.Value = ""
oParam5.Value = ""
oParam6.Value = ""
Result = MyFunc.CALL
If Result = True Then
Set ENTRIES = MyFunc.Tables("ENTRIES")
Else
MsgBox MyFunc.EXCEPTION
R3.Connection.LOGOFF
Exit Sub
End If
'>Fills the Excel sheet<
For i = 1 To ENTRIES.RowCount
Set Row = ENTRIES.Rows(i)
Cells(i + iStartRow, 1) = Row.Value("WA")
Next
If Result <> True Then
MsgBox (MyFunc.EXCEPTION)
Exit Sub
End If
'*******************************************
'Quit the SAP Application
'*******************************************
R3.Connection.LOGOFF
If Result <> True Then
MsgBox (EXCEPTION)
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

Unfortunately all the data gets loaded into one column.
How do I separate it and write the headers for each column so each data column in Excel is a separate data field and has a header which is a name of the field in SAP?
Sorry to be a pain - I know its basic VB stuff, but like I mentioned I do not have a lot of experience in programming.

Hello Rafal,
you are using RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES and the ENTRIES structure is TAB512. This is one character field with a length of 512 characters. With this function module you get one record of the table in one line. That is the reason you get the record in one field of Excel. If you need each field of the table in different columns of the sheet, you must cut the ENTRIES at the correct position.
Cheers
Stefan

Hello Rafal,
RFC_READ_TABLE also return the records in TAB512.
Here is an example how to get offset and length of a field:

"- Call it: Perform GetOffset Using 'TSTC' 'DYNPRO' Changing ofs len.
"- Parameter: TableName of table you want to know
"- FieldName of the field you want to know
"- Return: Offset of the field, position where the content of

Exit.
EndIf.
ofs = ofs + DD03L_Fields-LENG.
EndLoop.
Offset = ofs.
Length = DD03L_Fields-LENG.
EndForm.
