You are using the old version of the knowledge base for ERPConnect.
Make sure to use the samples within the new HelpCenter for ERPConnect.

The following sample shows how to use the ReadTable class to select data from the SAP table MAKT and how to process the ADO.NET result table object.

About #

The SAP table MAKT contains material descriptions.

• This sample reads the material description texts of MAKT. For this the columns MATNR (material number) and MAKTX (material text) are needed.
• Add a corresponding WHERE statement SPRAS='EN' to make sure only the English language texts are read (SPRAS is the column that contains the language keys).

Note: The RFC_READ_TABLE function module for table extractions is not suitable for mass data extraction, see Table Restrictions.

Read the SAP Table MAKT #

The following sample code reads the English material description texts of the SAP table MAKT:

using System;
using System.Data;
using ERPConnect;
using ERPConnect.Utils;

// Set your ERPConnect license
LIC.SetLic("xxxx");

// Open the connection to SAP
using var connection = new R3Connection(
    host: "server.acme.org",
    systemNumber: 00,
    userName: "user",
    password: "passwd",
    language: "EN",
    client: "001")
{
    Protocol = ClientProtocol.NWRFC,
};

connection.Open();

var table = new ReadTable(connection)
{
    WhereClause = "SPRAS = 'EN'",
    TableName = "MAKT",
    RowCount = 10
};

// Select columns to read
table.AddField("MATNR");
table.AddField("MAKTX");

table.Run();

DataTable result = table.Result;
for (int i = 0; i < result.Rows.Count; i++)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{result.Rows[i]["MATNR"]} {result.Rows[i]["MAKTX"]}");
}

Console.ReadLine();
