Results values truncated

[mryiiiii]

Hi,

I got only partial results from calling FM "RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES" with node-rfc: The same test (with same parameters in SE37) works fine and all content is displayed in SE37.

Executed in Linux x86 with latest SDK 7.50 SP3.

`
var invoke_options = { MAX_ENTRIES:10, TABLE_NAME: 'FPLAYOUTT' };

client.invoke('RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES', invoke_options , function(err, res) { if (err) { // check for errors (e.g. wrong parameters) return console.error('Error invoking:', err); } res.ENTRIES.forEach(x => console.log('line:', x['WA'] )) console.log(res.NUMBER_OF_ENTRIES) }) `

Result is:

line: /BCV/QVIEWS_PRINTING_LANDSCAPEAD X line: /BCV/QVIEWS_PRINTING_LANDSCAPEAE line: /BCV/QVIEWS_PRINTING_PORTRAIT AD X line: /BCV/QVIEWS_PRINTING_PORTRAIT AE line: /BOFU/DEMO_CUSTOMER_FORM AD X line: /BOFU/DEMO_CUSTOMER_FORM AE line: /BOFU/F_PPF_DEMO_PRODUCT AD X0 line: /BOFU/F_PPF_DEMO_PRODUCT AE line: /BOFU/F_PPF_DEMO_SO AD X0 line: /BOFU/F_PPF_DEMO_SO AE 452

My SE37 tests with the same parameters ended with ASSIGN_CASTING_ILLEGAL_CAST shortdump, in two test systems. Could you please post the screenshot of the SE37 result and what is exactly truncated when running from the nodejs?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. hope this can help:

Here is the screen shot of SE37.

Here is the screen shot of nodejs:

Hi Srdjan, I believe the different results (dump on your side) is due to some unicode character from the content of your table as I have seen that this FM has limitations relative to UNICODE. Maybe you can try to limit to 1 record, or choose another table. Thanks.

[bsrdjan]

According to RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES documentation, the fist 512 bytes of each table record should be returned. With FPLAYOUTT all 10 records are returned but each truncated possibly because of the Unicode, correct?

With 1 record I got the same shortdump and testing with CTXTLAY table, the SE37 looks like this:

and the node-rfc like this:

const input = {MAX_ENTRIES: 10, TABLE_NAME: 'CTXTLAY'};

client.open().then(() => {
    client
        .call("RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES", input)
        .then(result => {
            let ENTRIES = result.ENTRIES;
            console.log(ENTRIES.length);
            console.log(ENTRIES);
        })
        .catch(e => {
            console.error("Error:", e);
        })
        .finally(() => {
            client.close();
        });
});

It looks correct, or?

Are you using the latest node-rfc@next (rc10) and is the your SAP system the unicode system?

[mryiiiii]

Thanks! Yes the SAP system is unicode and the version of node rfc is "node-rfc@1.0.0-rc9". I don't have CTXTLAY table active in my system but is working fine in your case! Not really sure about the root cause of this behavior.

[bsrdjan]

According to similar issue, the # in SE37 stands for unprintable characters, which could be a RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES or system configuration issue. Could you post hex values from the debugger, to see the content replaced by #s ?

[mryiiiii]

Here is one of the line from the debugger in plain text and hex:

The line: /BCV/QVIEWS_PRINTING_PORTRAIT AE e is truncated because the content after AE e is not convertible to unicode:

The RFC_GET_TABLE_ENTRIES parameter ENTRIES, of plain CHAR512 ABAP type, is designed for the plain unicode text and cannot export non-unicode (binary) content. You could check if the content could be eventually fixed or if there is another way (function module?) available, exporting this content as ABAP XSTRING type for example (binary strings). The node-rfc can't help much here.

Here also the plain output from unicode converter:

Ok, very clear. Thanks a lot for your help Srdjan! I'll try to find another way then. issue can be closed
