end of t_values,
t_return like ddshretval occurs 0 with header line.
t_values = 'PAR*'.

return_tab = t_return
exceptions
parameter_error = 1
no_values_found = 2
others = 3.
if sy-subrc = 0.
read table t_return index 1.
o_begru-low = t_return-fieldval.

FU CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ

You can use this function module to display simple material BOMs. You cannot display BOM groups (for example, all variants of a variant BOM). as in transaction CS03. Current restrictions: You cannot display long texts. You cannot display sub-items. You cannot display classification data of BOM items for batches. You can only display one alternative or variant. You cannot enter an alternative for module CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ, so you always see alternative 01. The following example came from a posting on the SAP-R3-L mailing list.

Example:
data: begin of tstk2 occurs 0.
include structure stko_api02.
data: end of tstk2.
data: begin of tstp2 occurs 0.
include structure stpo_api02.
data: end of tstp2.
data: begin of tdep_data occurs 0.
include structure csdep_data.
data: end of tdep_data.
data: begin of tdep_descr occurs 0.
include structure csdep_descr.
data: end of tdep_descr.
data: begin of tdep_source occurs 0.
include structure csdep_source.
data: end of tdep_source.
data: begin of tdep_order occurs 0.
include structure csdep_order.
data: end of tdep_order.
data: begin of tdep_doc occurs 0.
include structure csdep_doc.
data: end of tdep_doc.
data: flg_warning like capiflag-flwarning.
call function 'CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ'
exporting
material = 'MAT100'
plant = '0001'
bom_usage = '1'
valid_from = '20.12.1996'

Current restrictions: You cannot display long texts. You cannot display sub-items. You cannot display classification data of BOM items for batches. You can only display one alternative or variant. You cannot enter an alternative for module CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ, so you always see alternative 01. The following example came from a posting on the SAP-R3-L mailing list.

Example:
data: begin of tstk2 occurs 0.
include structure stko_api02.
data: end of tstk2.
data: begin of tstp2 occurs 0.
include structure stpo_api02.
data: end of tstp2.

call function 'CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ'
exporting
material = 'MAT100'
plant = '0001'
bom_usage = '1'
