Introduction

Once for me it was necessary to develop the program, this had to collect and process data from differentERP-systems.

Here I used calls of functions via RFC. All functions had different interfaces.

In order to facilitate the development, I decided to write a RFC wrapper for the dynamic call of functions.

You can see the diagram of the wrapper below:

We will transfer the parameters into our wrapper in this way:

Input parameters -

Internal tables - XML Xstring

Flat structures - Xstring

Output parameters -

Internal tables - XML Xstring

Flat structures - XML Xstring

We Create All Necessary Structures

As we know, as it is written in “ABAP keyword documentation”, function can be dynamically called in thisway:

DATA: func TYPE string,

ptab TYPE abap_func_parmbind_tab,

ptab_line TYPE abap_func_parmbind,

etab TYPE abap_func_excpbind_tab,

etab_line TYPE abap_func_excpbind.

CALL FUNCTION func

PARAMETER-TABLE

ptab

EXCEPTION-TABLE

etab.

Types for the call are:

As we see, the basic difficulty for the use RFC-access is the type - “ref to of data”

Therefore we will make our types:

Finally, the type for the handling of the exceptions is:

We Make the Interface of our Function

Now we create RFC-function „Z_RFC_FUNC_CALL‟ with the interface:

We Write the Wrapper

This is the code of wrapper:

ENDFUNCTION.

Note: We used here „Id‟ transformation, but it‟s possible to write own format of the conversion of table into Xstring.

Example of Usage of the Wrapper

We will try to call the function "READ_SPFLI_INTO_TABLE".

In this function “Processing Type” is “Normal Function Module”.

It means that directly RFC-access is impossible, we call this function via our wrapper.

This is an example of an ABAP4 code sample: *&---------------------------------------------------------------------* *& Report Z_RFC_START_FUNCTION *& *&---------------------------------------------------------------------* *& *& *&---------------------------------------------------------------------*

REPORT Z_RFC_START_FUNCT.

type-pools : abap .data :

IMPORTING BUFFER = ls_parameters-par_value .

ls_parameters-par_type = 'SPFLI-CARRID' .append ls_parameters to lt_parameters .

* -------------------------- * Set parameter 2 - 'ITAB' * -------------------------- ls_parameters-par_name = 'ITAB'.ls_parameters-par_kind = ABAP_FUNC_IMPORTING.

CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')

SOURCE tab = lt_spfliRESULT XML ls_parameters-par_value .

ls_parameters-par_type = 'SPFLI_TAB' .append ls_parameters to lt_parameters .* --------------------------- * The possible exceptions * --------------------------- ls_err_mess-err_name = 'NOT_FOUND'.ls_err_mess-err_value = 1.insert ls_err_mess into table lt_err_mess.

ls_err_mess-err_name = 'OTHERS'.ls_err_mess-err_value = 4.insert ls_err_mess into table lt_err_mess.

CALL FUNCTION 'Z_RFC_FUNC_CALL' destination lv_drfcEXPORTING IM_FNAME = lv_fname

CHANGING CH_PARAMETERS = lt_parametersCH_ERR_MESSAGES = lt_err_mess

EXCEPTIONS FUNCTION_NOT_EXIST = 1 WRONG_DATA_IN_PARAMETERS = 2 OTHERS = 3 .

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID

TYPE SY-MSGTYNUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.ENDIF.* -------------------------- * Read parameter 1 - 'ID' * -------------------------- read table lt_parameters

with key par_name = 'ID' .TRY .CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')

SOURCE XML ls_parameters-par_valueRESULT tab = ls_carrid .

CATCH cx_transformation_error .message 'Parameters have a wrong data!' TYPE 'I'.Endtry.

* -------------------------- * Read parameter 2 - 'ITAB' * -------------------------- read table lt_parameters

into ls_parameters

with key par_name = 'ITAB' .TRY .CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')

SOURCE XML ls_parameters-par_valueRESULT tab = lt_spfli .

CATCH cx_transformation_error .message 'Parameters have a wrong data!' TYPE 'I'.

Endtry.

The result of calling you can see in the internal table ‘lt_spfli’.

Conclusion

Thus we can call dynamically practically any function.
