ABAP Code Class

The following section contains information on how to use the ABAP code class to execute ABAP code and retrieve the result in a string array.

About ABAP Code

The ABAP code class offers nearly unlimited possibilities. You can execute ABAP code on the fly and retrieve the result in a string array.

For more information about the ABAP programming language, see SAP Help: ABAP-Programming Language.

How to Use the ABAP Code Class

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.

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

    Protocol = ClientProtocol.NWRFC,

connection.Open();

const string code =
    """

    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
