QUESTION POSED ON: 05 February 2009
Is there any way to read SAP's standard transactions, such STO6 or SM55, in an ABAP code? Can Batch Data Communication (BDC) be used for this?

Generally, there's no way to read a transaction in a programmatic way. BDC is a way of writing to a transaction, but you don't get feedback! Some transactions have a Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI), which you can access through ABAP.
