SAP Report Connector - How to choose list format option

benjamins — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 21:26:37 GMT

Hey guys,

I'm trying to read data from Cluster B2 where I'm interested in the SALDO table.

I identified the SAP Report Connector as the best way to do that.

So I first fired up transaction SE38 to check out RPCLSTB2. I get the following Options:

Please notice that I chose 'Detailed description of all table entries'. Now when I run this I get exactly the desired results.

I then switched to the Qlik SAP Report connector, which presents me with the following options (please click to view entire image):

The resulting query returns the same information that can be seen in the preview window, which is not what I was after. It is the same data I would get from the above SAP dialog would I choose "List of personnel numbers and periods" in the List format options.

How can I specify the desired "Detailed description of all table entries" in my query?

Thanks and cheers

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

Try creating a variant in SE38 with 'Detailed description of all table entries' selected, under the Menu: Goto/Variants/Save As Variant...

Then enter the name of the Report and the variant name in the Report connector before 'Get'.

Hakan

Hi Hakan,

thanks for your suggestion.

However as you can see, I specify a period. This would mean that I would have to manually create a variant each month. So this isn't the solution I was looking for.

I fear that what I'm going for isn't achievable via the report connector and I might have to write an ABAP program.

Hi Benjamin,

I think you can solve it by using the 'Select Options' button in the Report connector. I tried the following script and it worked:

set zyear=2005;

set zperiod=200501;

CUSTOM CONNECT TO "Provider=QvSAPReportConnector.dll;ASHOST=99.88.777.66;SYSNR=06;CLIENT=800;XUserId=bZVNHUJOHLSB;XPassword=xxx;";

[RPCLSTB2]:

Load [Field0_] AS 'Field name',

[Field1_] AS 'Field cont.',

[Field2_] AS 'Description';

Select SAPREPORT (REPORT (RPCLSTB2), ROWS_PER_RECORD (1), FIELD_AUTO_COLUMNS (6),

OPTIONS (

(SELNAME LIST1, KIND P, SIGN I, OPTION EQ, LOW ),

(SELNAME LIST4, KIND P, SIGN I, OPTION EQ, LOW X),

(SELNAME SELCLTYP, KIND S, SIGN I, OPTION EQ, LOW 1),

(SELNAME SELPABRJ, KIND S, SIGN I, OPTION EQ, LOW $(zyear)),

(SELNAME SELPERIO, KIND S, SIGN I, OPTION EQ, LOW $(zperiod))

));

//Store * from [RPCLSTB2] into RPCLSTB2_OPTIONS.QVD;

//Drop Table [RPCLSTB2];

You have to calculate the variables in the script (like zperiod) you want to use, at each execution time.

Regards,

Hakan

Hi Hakan,

that's it! Thank you so much!

I wasn't aware that the LIST1 and LIST4 parameters correspond to the selections in the reports.

Cheers

Hi Pradeep,

The error 'Screen output without connection to user' means that the Report is displaying some kind of pop-up and is waiting for an answer from the user. The connector cannot handle to give an answer for such a pop-up. You can try to customize the Report not to display the pop-up. It can be done in a variant or it might require some ABAP coding.

Best regards,

Hakan

Thanks for the reply Hakan,

I applied same filter in SAP form but did not get any pop-up. I agree with your suggestion to use variant but here i need to feed Date and Cccode dynamically. Please guide if there is any way, I am using SAP data first time.

Also, When i tried with limited options then it works. but it is not allowing me to apply optional parameter. getting an error (More than one radio button is active.)

(SELNAME R1, KIND P, SIGN I, OPTION EQ, LOW X) ,

(SELNAME R_CUR1, KIND P, SIGN I,OPTION EQ, LOW X)

/QTQVC/CALL_REPORT failed after 00:00:00 Key = (More than one radio button is active.)

Select SAPREPORT (REPORT (ZFI_AR_AGING_SUMMARY), ROWS_PER_RECORD (1), FIELD_AUTO_COLUMNS (10),

OPTIONS (

(SELNAME P_DATE, KIND P, SIGN I, OPTION EQ, LOW 20180831),

(SELNAME S_BUKRS,KIND S, SIGN I,OPTION EQ, LOW 2201 2120),

(SELNAME R1, KIND P, SIGN I, OPTION EQ, LOW X) , // Error line

(SELNAME R_CUR1, KIND P, SIGN I,OPTION EQ, LOW X) , // Error line

(SELNAME P_FILE, KIND P, SIGN I, OPTION EQ, LOW /usr/Open_AR_PRD)

Thanks,

Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,

You can set dynamical values in the variant:

Use the pop-up to find conditions:

If you use radio buttons yo can set space to the ones that are not selected:

(SELNAME R1, KIND P, SIGN I, OPTION EQ, LOW X) ,

(SELNAME R_CUR1, KIND P, SIGN I,OPTION EQ, LOW ' ')
