Calling a function module

Calling function modules in Rfc Connector is really easy, all it requires is just three steps:

  1. Connect to the SAP system in question
  2. Import the function module prototype and set parameter values
  3. Call the function

Note: While this example is written in Visual Basic, you can use Rfc Connector with every language which supports COM, including C/C++/C#, VBA, VB 6, VB.net, Delphi, Auto IT and many more.

 ' connect to SAP system via RFC
 Session.RfcSystemData.ConnectString = "ASHOST=myserver SYSNR=00"
 Session.LogonData.Client = "000"
 Session.LogonData.User = "myuser"
 Session.LogonData.Password = "supersecret"
 Session.LogonData.Language = "EN"
 Session.Connect()

 ' import function module's prototype
 Dim fn As FunctionCall
 fn = Session.ImportCall("BAPI_FLIGHT_GETLIST")

 ' set importing parameters
 fn.Importing("AIRLINE").value = "LH"

 ' call the function 
 Session.CallFunction(fn)

 ' process the result
  For Each row As RfcFields In fn.Tables("FLIGHT_LIST").Rows
   Console.WriteLine(Row("AIRLINE").value & " " & Row("FLIGHTDATE").value)
  Next

Retrieving SAP Table Data

With Rfc Connector‘s integrated TableReader class, you can retrieve data from SAP tables with just a few lines of code:

 Dim tr As TableReader
 tr = session.GetTableReader("SFLIGHT")

 ' set a query condition
 tr.Query.Add("CARRID EQ 'LH'")

 ' read the table
 tr.Read(0,0)

 ' process the result
 For Each row As RfcFields in tr.Rows
  Console.WriteLine(row("FLDATE").value & " " & row("CONNID").value)
  ' ...
 Next
