Calling the function NUMBER_GET_NEXT from an XI User Defined Function

[Former Member]

Hi there,

A number range object has been created on our XI server, called, ZBC_BKSTMT.

I need to call the function NUMBER_GET_NEXT (standard SAP function for number range objects) with the parameters:

NR_RANGE_NR = 01

OBJECT = ZBC_BKSTMT

Calling the NUMBER_GET_NEXT function will return a unique integer. However, i need to call it from a User Defined Function because I need to make use of the returned integer in my message mapping.

Thanks,

And also...

just take a ABAP Mapping. This is a quite normal method of a normal class and of course u can call a RFC.

Hello,

If you have SP13, SAP provides a RFC API which can be called during the mapping. Refer to this document:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-code-samples...

Also check this weblog :

For pre-SP13 systems, refer to this How-To

U can make ur function NUMBER_GET_NEXT remote enabled. Then call this RFC in UDF using RFC lookup. A sample is used here
