FM to read characteristic's values form Dim-Table?

[marco_simon2]

Hi experts,

does anybody know a Function-Module (or a Class) that supports the reading of characteristic-values from the Dim-Tabe of an InfoCube? I did not find anything useable yet.

I'd like to use it in a piece of abap-code which shall loop over the booked values of a characteristic (let's say: the CompCodes) existing in a special InfoProvider. That would be similar to the read-mode option in the BEx filter dialog.

As a workaround I could use the attributes-table instead - but that will return more values than existing in the InfoProvider.

Kind regards,

Marco Simon

Hi Vikas Sharma,

first of all: thanks for your quick reply and the (generally) interesting link.

The linked document describes the "manual way" of how to get data from an InfoCube.

Of course I could use the described logic and build my own "Dim-value-Reader" - but I'd prefer to use an already existing FM or method that already implements this logic (and more). And this FM or method is exactly what I'm asking for.

But anyway - your document is a good helper if you want to unterstand the relationships between the single tables of a cube.

Kind regards,

Marco

Hi Marco Simon,

Did you try FM RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ.

Hope this helps.

Good morning Guru,

yes I did. FM RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ is great if you wanna read data from an InfoCube using ABAP - but I cannot find an option to read only the existing values for e.g. 0COMP_CODE from the dimension-tables.

So this FM does not help me in this case.

Kind regards,

Marco
