Create a new Line with the same structure of the table.

ASSIGN new_table->* TO You could test from SE37, but the only problem would be that you cannot see
the returned XML result in full. Sample code is provided in
Execute BW query using ABAP Part II to do a complete test of this.
Create the FM and try it yourself. I am sure that there will be areas of
improvement in this FM for which i am really looking forward to your valuable
comments.

Please note that not all types of errors are handled in

this sample. Only some basic error handling is done.

the parameter passing should be something like below
ls_para-name = 'VAR_NAME_1'.
ls_para-value = 'L_PVALMNT'.
APPEND ls_para TO lt_para.
ls_para-name = 'VAR_OPERATOR_1'.
ls_para-value = 'BT'.
APPEND ls_para TO lt_para.
ls_para-name = 'VAR_VALUE_LOW_EXT_1'.
ls_para-value = '04.2008'.

Hi,
I coment a peice of code because I don't have the class CL_RSR_QUERY_VARIABLES.
Now, I want to execute one query that have a filter variable under one dimension. I put the next code:
MOVE: 'ZD_CHAN' TO wa_var-vnam,
'I' TO wa_var-sign,
'EQ' TO wa_var-opt,
'Internet' TO wa_var-low,
'0HIER_NODE' to wa_var-high,
APPEND wa_var TO var .
The problem, is that this code execute the query but don't apply the filter.
Can Anybody helps me ???
Thanks!!!

durairaj.athavanraja: Execute BW query using ABAP Part I

Hi Durairaj Athavan Raja

Thank you for your informative Blog.
Can you please advise how i can feed the query results directly into a flat table.
What i am tring to achieve, is creating a Customer Exit Variable, which has a BADI.
I will then call your function module to execute the query with the required variable values that i pass through.
I then simply want to return the results into a table. (Very similar to how WRITEQUERY program works)
Alternatively if you have sample solution to create a FM to call WRITEQUERY, and pass parameters genuid
and Variable Values of query through in order to get the results.
Thank you.

Hi Durairaj ,
First of all let me tell u, that u r awesome....Your blogs were too good.
Initially i tried to use your function module, but there isnt a class called cl_rsr_query_variables.
So i tried using RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA.
But i am getting a dump saying "Exception condition "NO_APPLICABLE_DATA" raised. ".
Here is the code im using.
zparam-NAME = 'VAR_NAME_1'.
zparam-VALUE = '0RPA_BDD'.

Hi,
I am using your method to execute queries from ABAP. But I have a query where i need to filter the
characteristics in the 'Rows' using variables. When i put these cahracteristics in 'Filter' section I am able to
pass the variables from ABAP. But when the restriction is applied in Rows am not able to pass the variables. is
there any way to do this ?
Thanks,

if you want all data you can leave the input value blank.
however i am not sure about patterns like
value = abc* as VAR_OPERATOR_I doesnt support CP (contains pattern)

Hi Athavan,
I think your FM is great...
But I'm facing a problem with this TABLES parameter

LIKE

RRX_VAR

The problem is RRX_VAR-VNAM length is only 8 Characters.

durairaj.athavanraja: Execute BW query using ABAP Part I

I have a Query with variable length more than 8.

I tried using the std FM: RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA
This can accept variable names with more than 8 Chars.
But here I'm not able to filter data with an asterisk ( "*" ).
Thanks for the help n keep up the great work!
Tony.

you can put them all into one wrapper FM and use it in your webdynpro app. or simply call the fm described in
this weblog and transform the xml in your webdynpro app. itself.

Hi Raja,
what's a good work!
This is my first post...i'm excited!
I've a question about the integration of the steps you described.
I have to extract the query result starting and ending on a web dynpro. The question is: how can i integrate the
FM running, the XSLT transformation and the ABAP in a one-step running?

Sorry for the delay in replying. (thursday & friday is our weekend)
did you pass hierarchy node variable with 0HIER_NODE in the high column? and still you are getting
BAD_VALUE_COMBINATION exception?
May be a little bit of debugging would tell where the problem is.

Your FM is gearat. This is what we are looking for .

I was trying on my system with hierarcy node variables as you have mentioned, but I am not getting the
required result.
It throws a exception BAD_VALUE_COMBINATION but the query runs fine.
works fine with Chrecterstic variable.
Can you please let me know the exact way of passing the hierarchy node variables.
