Read SAP Tables Directly

The following sample shows how to use the ReadTable class to select data from the SAP table MAKT and how to process the ADO.NET result table object.

About

This sample reads the material description texts of the SAP table MAKT.

  • Read the columns MATNR (material number) and MAKTX (material text).
  • Add a corresponding WHERE statement SPRAS='EN' to make sure only the English language texts are read (SPRAS is the column that contains the language keys).
