ABAP Interpreter

The following section shows how to execute ABAP code and retrieve the result in a string array.

How to Use the ABAP Code Class

Follow the steps below to create an ABAP interpreter:

  1. Connect to the SAP system using R3Connection.
  2. Add a new line of code to the dynamic report using AddCodeLine.
  3. Execute the report using Execute.
  4. Read the result set (regarding the ABAP list) using GetResultLine.

Create an ABAP Interpreter

The following sample shows how to create a simple ABAP interpreter that executes a dynamic SQL statement.

ABAP Interpreter
using System;
using ERPConnect;
using ERPConnect.Utils;

// Set your ERPConnect license
LIC.SetLic("xxxx");

// Open the connection to SAP
using var connection = new R3Connection(
    host: "server.acme.org",
    systemNumber: 00,
    userName: "user",
    password: "passwd",
    language: "EN",
    client: "001")
{
    Protocol = ClientProtocol.NWRFC,
};

connection.Open();

const string code =
    """
    REPORT ztestreport NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

    TABLES kna1.

    DATA c TYPE i.

    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO c FROM kna1.

    WRITE: /'System time ', sy-timlo.
    WRITE: /'Number of rows in KNA1: ', c.
    """;

var abapCode = new ABAPCode
{
    Connection = connection
};

string[] lines = code.Split('\n');
foreach (string s in lines)
{
    abapCode.AddCodeLine(s.Trim());
}

if (abapCode.Execute())
{
    for (int i = 0; i < abapCode.ResultLineCount; i++)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(abapCode.GetResultLine(i));
    }
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ABAP Error: {abapCode.LastABAPSyntaxError}");
}

Output:

System time  11:17:46
Number of rows in KNA1:       7.705
