Currently the manual process exists where users access SAP and select query FS10N to produce a report. This report is then exported from SAP to .XLS format and saved to user's hard drive.

I would like to automate this process with an Excel macro. So far I have implemented VBA code to connect to SAP. So now how do I implement extraction of FS10N report?

  • As far as I can see, the data from `FS10N` would be rather hard to extract due to the technology used. Would it be an option to get similar data from the report `RFSSLD00`? – vwegert Oct 03 '13 at 10:08
  • Hi Vwegert Thank you for your response.Yes I could use that. How would I implement it? – davidpepper223 Oct 03 '13 at 10:19

You could use the RFC-enabled function module INST_EXECUTE_REPORT to run the report RFSSLD00 instead of the transaction FS10N which is rather hard to remote-control. The basic steps would be:

  1. Start the report and save your selection criteria as a variant. Note the name of the variant. Be aware that you can only use inclusion and equality parameters (the black equals sign in a green square) for this way.

  2. Run the function module RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS using the transaction SE37 manually. In its table parameters, you will find the values you entered along with the technical parameter names. You will need these when executing the report.

  3. From your program, call the function module INST_EXECUTE_REPORT, passing the program name and the parameters in the table PARA. The list output of the report will be passed back as text in the table OUTPUT_TAB.
