The RFC API mainly consists of library routines you can call to communicate with an RFC partner. These routines (implemented in C) perform the RFC calls and other administrative tasks needed to handle the external system’s communication. The integrated RFC interface of the AS ABAP processes the counterpart communication within the SAP System.

The RFCSDK contains the following includes and platform-specific libraries:

File

Description

sapnwrfc.h

This include file contains all data types and structures required and the prototypes (declarations) of the RFC calls.

sapuc.h

Header file containing global Unicode specifications (part of sapnwrfc.h)

sapucx.h

File with containing detailed Unicode specifications

sapdecf.h

Specifies functions for working with the data type decfloat.

<RFC library>

Depending on the platform, the following libraries are required:
