The GuiXT utilities are a collection of ABAP functions (mainly function modules) that you can use in your own developments:

  • /guixt/dbselect
    Provides you with a convenient way to read the SAP database in a GuiXT script. It supports format conversions, table joins and CDS views.

    For details see Function module /guixt/dbselect and the section "Reading the SAP database" in our Tips, Tricks and Samples

  • /guixt/select
    A predecessor version of /guixt/select which we provide for compatibility with older scripts.

  • /guixt/submitreport
    Offers you a comfortable way to submit an ABAP report via RFC and to process the list output.

  • /guixt/get_text_for_value
    This function can be used to read texts for given key values, e.g. to read the name of a purchasing organization. The function is based on the text link provided in the SAP repository.

    This transaction provides the standard search help (F4) function for your own input fields.
