Read contents of structure via RFC in SAP

Is it possible to read contents of SAP structures via RFCs from the outside? I know that RFC_READ_TABLE ca开发者_Go百科n be used to read table data, but is there something similar for structures?

Or are structures only type definitions and don't contain any data?

Yes, structures are only type definitions and don't contain any data.

That's why you have a RFC to read from tables (transparent tables, cluster tables, etc) but not from structures or table types.

Of course, a RFC can receive and return a structure as parameter, but again, that's only a structured type definition.
