Functionality
The function module RPY_ENTITY_MULTI_READ reads information for ONE orSEVERAL entity types of the Data Modeler and supplies them in the formof tables.
The transport objects (entity types) and further infromation in theenvironment of the transport objects are read.
INCLUDE RPY_UENO_TRANSPORT_OBJECT OBJECT DOKU ID TX
INCLUDE RPY_UENO_WITH OBJECT DOKU ID TX
INCLUDE RPY_DM_ERRORS OBJECT DOKU ID TX

Example
With the following example you select all relevant information aboutthree entity types, in this case in the materials area.Precisely the transport objects are selected.
* Declaration of variables
data: t_entity_ids like rpydmei occurs 10 with header line,

* Determine entity types to be read
t_entity_ids = '11027'. append t_entity_ids. " Material
t_entity_ids = '11006'. append t_entity_ids. " Plant material
t_entity_ids = '16066'. append t_entity_ids. " Sales material
