accessing report variable

[sudhakara_reddy4]

Hi, i am creating one function module, i need to return one internal table IT_OUTPUT, that is ok, the total logic for filling of IT_OUTPUT is written in one report, this ALV report which is used internal table IT_OUTPUT for grid display, Now my issuse is using this report how to get the data of output internal table ie IT_OUTPUT from that report. There is no export of output table in the report to memory and i don't want to change this report at all. How can i access the variable IT_OUTPUT into my function module.

Cut & paste the report code into function module, and kept only the code that deriving the IT_OUTPUT table .

or

change the report code and export the IT_OUTPUT table into memory and import in the function module

or

use Implicit Enhancment spot in the report and export IT_OUTPUT to memory

Yes, that is good idea, but sorry to say that when ever program changes we need to take care of FM also. This idea is not suitable for me at this time. Can please suggest any other way ?

Check for 3rd option i have mentioned in my previous reply. Check the possibility of its usage without changing the report.

Yes, that is good idea, but sorry to say that client don't want touch or modify of report. There is not copy of logic also because whenever code change we need to change the FM also. by using this report is there any way to access that variable?

( This you can do in a custom report also and also you are not changing the report source code )

Hi,

I understood that you want to use IT_OUTPUT internal table in a function module, and the same table is there in some ALV report. And you do not want to pass any exporting parameters from the program to the function module.

When ever you want to get some data into the function module, you have to pass it as an importing parameter into the function module and export the same from some program. You can actually populate the table in function module itself with the logic that they are using at the report incase if you want to see how it works.
