Reading of characteristic value combinations in APO DP

[Former Member]

I am using APO DP V5.

I want to be able to read characteristic value combinations (CVCs) in APO DP into a file.

I know that the CVCs are held in the internal Cube for the planning object structure.

Is this the best source for getting hold of the CVCs?

Thanks,

Bob Austin

In you want to do that in an ABAP programm you can use this FM

CALL FUNCTION 'RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ'

EXPORTING

I_INFOPROV = 'ZPO_GRP' "your POS

I_TH_SFC = WT_SFC

I_TH_SFK = WT_SFK

I_SAVE_IN_TABLE = WK_FALSE

I_SAVE_IN_FILE = WK_FALSE

I_REFERENCE_DATE = SY-DATUM

I_CURRENCY_CONVERSION = WK_FALSE

I_USE_DB_AGGREGATION = WK_TRUE

I_USE_AGGREGATES = WK_TRUE

I_ROLLUP_ONLY = WK_FALSE

I_AUTHORITY_CHECK = 'R'

IMPORTING

E_T_DATA = WS_POS_DATA

E_END_OF_DATA = W_END_OF_DATA

CHANGING

C_FIRST_CALL = W_FIRST_CALL

EXCEPTIONS

ILLEGAL_INPUT = 1

ILLEGAL_INPUT_SFC = 2

ILLEGAL_INPUT_SFK = 3

ILLEGAL_INPUT_RANGE = 4

ILLEGAL_INPUT_TABLESEL = 5

NO_AUTHORIZATION = 6

NCUM_NOT_SUPPORTED = 7

ILLEGAL_DOWNLOAD = 8

ILLEGAL_TABLENAME = 9

TRANS_NO_WRITE_MODE = 10

INHERITED_ERROR = 11

X_MESSAGE = 12

OTHERS = 13.

oops...i just realized that you have mentioned you know about the internal cube

you can also download the CVC from MC62 after displaying characterisitics

If you go to transaction LISTCUBE and list all possible infocubes you can see there are some that have description "Generate InfoCube for internal use"

Choose the one with the name that matches your MPOS and execute. This will create the file you need

I think you can automate this process by creating a variant and creating a job after looking at the program
