Function Group and Module Transport

Hi All,
I have created a new Function group and is part of transport request. Created new function modules and assigned to the same function group. When i see object list in SE09 for the transport request i see only function group, all the FM are part of same transportable package of Function group. Do i need to assign them manually in object list through SE09 as pseudo changes to FM is not capturing in the request.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kunal.

There is no need to manually assign fm to fg. If you transport the fg , objects under the fg get transported automatically.
Next time if you changing only function module then your se09 entry will be
LIMU FUNC

Are Classes better than Function groups and Modules

Hi,
Are classes better than Function groups? For example if you want to execute something is back ground or use parallel processing you can't do it using classes. Even inside classes most of the places we use Function modules.
Then how classes are beneficial?
Regards,
Deepak Bhalla

Yes they are compared in the sense that the class and function group are the containers, and the methods and function modules are the interfaces in which you interact with the encapsulated data.
Again if you are developing an application in which you are not forced to push the processing to differenet work processes, then using classes/methods is preferrable. The reason I say this, is because anything coming from SAP will most likely be implemented as a class as opposed to a function group. This is not to say that SAP will not create new function modules, because of course there still is a use for them.

Function Groups and Function Modules

Hi,
Can anyone give me the detail steps for creating Function Group and then from that function group creation of function module with example?
Regards,
Chandru

Hi,
Function Group creation -
 A function group is a program that contains function modules. With each R/3 system, SAP supplies more than 5,000 pre-existing function groups.
 In total, they contain more than 30,000 function modules. If the functionality you require is not already covered by these SAP-supplied function modules, you can also create your own function groups and function modules.
 We can put all the relevant function modules under one function group and all the global variables can be declared in this FG.
FG Creation:
1) Function group can be created in SE80. There choose the 'Function Group' from the list of objects.
2) Then give a name for ur function group (starts with Y or Z) and press ENTER.
3) The click 'YES' in the create object dialog box and give a short desc. for this FG and save.
Function Module:
 A function module is the last of the four main ABAP/4 modularization units. It is very similar to an external subroutine in these ways:
Both exist within an external program.
Both enable parameters to be passed and returned.
Parameters can be passed by value, by value and result, or by reference.
The major differences between function modules and external subroutines are the following:
Function modules have a special screen used for defining parameters-parameters are not defined via ABAP/4 statements.
tables work areas are not shared between the function module and the calling program.
Different syntax is used to call a function module than to call a subroutine.
Leaving a function module is accomplished via the raise statement instead of check, exit, or stop.
A function module name has a practical minimum length of three characters and a maximum length of 30 characters. Customer function modules must begin with Y_ or Z_. The name of each function module is unique within the entire R/3 system.
Defining Data within a Function Module
Data definitions within function modules are similar to those of subroutines.
Within a function module, use the data statement to define local variables that are reinitialized each time the function module is called. Use the statics statement to define local variables that are allocated the first time the function module is called. The value of a static variable is remembered between calls.
Define parameters within the function module interface to create local definitions of variables that are passed into the function module and returned from it (see the next section).
You cannot use the local statement within a function module. Instead, globalized interface parameters serve the same purpose. See the following section on defining global data to learn about local and global interface parameters.
Defining the Function Module Interface
To pass parameters to a function module, you must define a function module interface. The function module interface is the description of the parameters that are passed to and received from the function module. It is also simply known as the interface. In the remainder of this chapter, I will refer to the function module interface simply as the interface.
To define parameters, you must go to one of two parameter definition screens:
1) Import/Export Parameter Interface
2) Table Parameters/Exceptions Interface
Then in the FM interface screen, give the following
1) Import parameters
2) Export parameters
3) Changing parameters
Then give
1) Define internal table parameters
2) Document exceptions
You enter the name of the parameter in the first column and the attributes of the parameter in the remaining columns. Enter one parameter per row.
Import parameters are variables or field strings that contain values passed into the function module from the calling program. These values originate outside of the function module and they are imported into it.
Export parameters are variables or field strings that contain values returned from the function module. These values originate within the function module and they are exported out of it.
Changing parameters are variables or field strings that contain values that are passed into the function module, changed by the code within the function module, and then returned. These values originate outside the function module. They are passed into it, changed, and passed back.
Table parameters are internal tables that are passed to the function module, changed within it, and returned. The internal tables must be defined in the calling program.
An exception is a name for an error that occurs within a function module. Exceptions are described in detail in the following section.
Syntax for the call function Statement
The following is the syntax for the call function statement.
call function 'F'
 [exporting p1 = v1 ... ]
 [importing p2 = v2 ... ]
 [changing p3 = v3 ... ]
 [tables p4 = it ... ]
 [exceptions x1 = n [others = n]].
where:
F is the function module name.
p1 through p4 are parameter names defined in the function module interface.
v1 through v3 are variable or field string names defined within the calling program.
it is an internal table defined within the calling program.
n is any integer literal; n cannot be a variable.
x1 is an exception name raised within the function module.
The following points apply:
All additions are optional.
call function is a single statement. Do not place periods or commas after parameters or exception names.
The function module name must be coded in uppercase. If it is coded in lowercase, the function will not be found and a short dump will result.
Use the call function statement to transfer control to a function module and specify parameters. Figure 19.9 illustrates how parameters are passed to and received from the function module.

How to add function group entry in Transport request...

Hi
I had a function group in which I had 4 function modules. I deleted one of the FM and hence in my Transport request, its entry was included. Along with that the function group was also included.
I deleted that function group entry by mistake. Now I want to add back my function group into the transport. How do I do that ?
thks

Hi,
Please follow below steps:
1) Go to SE01
2) Click on create New workbench request and give desc once popup appears, Click Ok
3) Now open the trasport in edit mode
4) Add
Program ID - R3TR
Object Type - FUGR
Object name - Name of the Function group
>note that if you tranport Function group all the latest Function modules in function group along
>with screens will be included in the transport.

How to assign whole Function Group in a Transport

Hi Experts,
I have to transport a big Function Group from one system to another. So how i can assign whole Function Group to a Transport without going each and every function module (includes and text) and attaching them to Transport.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anil

Hi Amit,
I tried this option. it was not accepting the Transport Request.
Please, give some details.

What is the difference between function groups and Object Orientation

Hello all
I have read about this on the help.sap.com site, I still do not understand it completely, can some one explain me with a simple example please ? (Not the increment counter example please !).
Thanks a ton.
Rgds
Sameer

Hello Sameer
When you call a module of a function group for the first time in your program then the entire function group is loaded. However, this can happen only once within your report and all global variables within the function group will have the same values all the time (except they are manipulated via fm's).
In contrast, you can create as many instances of the same class as you want and all of them can have different global attributes. And all these instances are independent of each other.
On the other hand, if fm_A changes global attributes of the function group and fm_B reads these attributes then fm_B read the changed values.
Or in other words:
Function Group = can be instantiated only ONCE
Class = can be instantiated unlimited

Uwe

Add FUNCTION GROUP to a TRANSPORT REQUEST

Hi Experts
How can I add a Function Group to a Transport Request?
Thx

the method I suggested, will take everything (main program, includes, screens, GUI statuses, etc.)
just display the transport request you want to use, double click to to the object list, go to change mode and add the following line: R3TR FUGR ZI26, than Save, release and import (as usual)
alternatively you can use the SE80 method, suugested by others

Function Group and Subroutines

Hi all,
I have two Function Groups.
I have a subroutine defined in one Function Group and want to use same subroutine in another Function Group.
Is there any way to do it, without redefining same Subroutine in another Function Group?

Hi,
 either define subroutines in include
 and inlude in function group
 include ztest.
 perform abc .
 perfrom add.
Function group ZFG
 include ztest.
Function group ZFG1
 include ztest.
 or
perform test(prog1).

About function groups and includes?

I ahve created 1 function groupa nd module
then id int keep any thing in function module like tables,impot..exportsourcecode
i dint fill ..when im checking for errors its showing nothing but when activating its saying "report stmt is missing"
y this happening?
about includes..
I wanted to include one in other include
when im im wriitng select stmt in second include the error is
"stmt is not accessble"
pls clarify my doubts as soon as possible

Hi,
When ever you execute or check it will give "report stmt is missing" so you need to use this includes in report program only.
For include in which select is there also need to keep in report program.
You cannot execute include/module pool pragram

Function group and transaction hav same name.

Is it possible to re-name a function group name which is accidently nameed same as a transaction code.
Thanks in advance,
Rupesh.

You can't rename a function group, but you can copy it. Go to SE80, put in your function group, right click on the function group name and click COPY. You can now choose a new name for the function group. After confirming you'll get another popup, where you can select the function modules you want to copy. Don't forget to rename them as well.
Hope that helps,
Michael

Putting a function group on a transport

Is there an easy way to put a function group, or all objects in a development class onto a transport?
I have seen someone do it in the past but cannot remember how they did it.
We have a problem with a transport which is giving some strange errors.
Many Thanks
David

Hi david,
1. Is there an easy way to put a function group
The normal way is the easy way.
2. ie.
Just SAVE once again ANY function module
of that group (without changing any code)
3. It will ask for a new request.
4. That request, is your request.
5. FMs are never transported separatedly,
the WHOLE BUNCH of FMs
(ie, THE FULL FUNCTION GROUP)
is transported.
regards,
amit m.

Can we move SAP standard Function Group and Table defintion to BW

Dear Forum,
We are in a pilot process of migrating SAP R/3 Custom development objects to our BW client and we have a few questions that we would like to know if possible.
We are currently in the To Be Blueprint Phase of migrating SAP 45B to ERP2005 as a Ramp-Up customer and we need to determine as soon as possible the feasibility of moving one particular Custom application
from our SAP R/3 environment to BW. This application primarily performs computational processing and does reporting of the results at the
conclusion
We have selected one Custom R/3 ABAP program to do a pilot to determine the feasibility of migrating it to the BW platform. This Custom program utilizes objects from standard SAP Function Groups which are non existent in BW. In this particular case Function groups KMS0
(Cost Center Selection) and KAB2 (CO Reporting: General).
Questions:
Are we allowed to move these 2 standard SAP Function Groups to BW ? Would it alter the BW environment integrity as intended and designed by SAP?
If we move the Function Group KMS0 and KAB2 will
SAP support our BW environment if we decide to move them?
Would it be considered a SAP Best Practice to move standard SAP R/3
objects to BW?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Paulo Silveira

How many includes will create when we are activating a function group...

hi all.
And one more thing if i see in 4.7 there are three includes r there generated by function group starts with 'L'.....If i created in ECC Same function group and module only two includes are there.....
missing includes are, what ever we write in tat form sub routine is missing in ECC.....
can any one help me out in this..

Hi
I have created the Function Group in ECC 6.0 and the Following Includes are generated for the same.
System-defined Include-files.                                 *
include lzfunctiontop.                     " Global Data
include lzfunctionuxx.                     " Function Modules
User-defined Include-files (if necessary).                    *
INCLUDE LZFUNCTIONF...                     " Subprograms
INCLUDE LZFUNCTIONO...                     " PBO-Modules
INCLUDE LZFUNCTIONI...                     " PAI-Modules
What is your problem exactly? IF you want to write any subroutine jus uncomment the necessary includes and write your code inside it.

Migrate function group from 4.6 to 6.0 ecc

how can we migrate function group and modules from 4.6 to 6.0 ecc
please reply

Hello Yogesh
If you do not want to replace any functionality with new functions from ECC 6.0 but just "move" it to the higher release then import your custom function group into the ECC 6.0 system and remove any Unicode errors.
Unfortunately, transaction UCCHECK appears to be not available on release 4.6.

Function Groups

Hi....
   Any body send me what are the uses of the include programs generates function groups while creating...?
   And what is the Difference between those two?
   And in which cases we have to go for change them?
   Thank you,
   Naveen Inuganti.

Hi
Include Programs
Include programs are global R/3 Repository objects. They are solely for modularizing source code, and have no parameter interface.
They have the following functions:
Library: Include programs allow you to use the same source code in different programs. For example, this can be useful if you have lengthy data declarations that you want to use in different programs.
Order. Include programs allow you to manage complex programs in an orderly way. Function groups and module pools use include programs to store parts of the program that belong together. The ABAP Workbench supports you extensively when you create such complex programs by creating the include programs automatically and by assigning them unique names. A special include is the TOP include of a program. If you name it according to the naming convention, it is always included in program navigation and in the syntax check.
Creating Your Own Include Programs
If you create an include program yourself, you must assign it the type I in its program attributes. You can also create or change an include program by double-clicking on the name of the program after the INCLUDE statement in your ABAP program. If the program exists, the ABAP Workbench navigates to it. If it does not exist, the system creates it for you.
An include program cannot run independently, but must be built into other programs. Include programs can contain other includes.
The only restrictions for writing the source code of include programs are:
Include programs cannot call themselves.
Include programs must contain complete statements.
You must ensure that the statements of your include program fit logically into the source code of the programs from which it is called. Choosing Check while editing an include program in the ABAP Editor is normally not sufficient for this.
se37 funcation group used for funcation module store on sap library.
Function Groups
function group creates two includes.
include lfgidtop.
include lfgiduxx. wher fgid is function group
The first include program-lfgidtop-is known as the top include. Within it you can place global data definitions. These are data definitions that are global to all function modules within the group.
The second include program-lfgiduxx-is known as the UXX. You are not allowed to modify the UXX. The system will automatically place an include statement in the UXX for each function module you create in this function group. For the first function module, the statement include lfgidu01 will be inserted into the UXX. When you create a second function module in this group, the system will add a second statement: include lfgidu02.
Function groups are containers for function modules. You cannot execute a function group. When you call a function module, the system loads the whole of its function group into the internal session of the calling program (if it has not already been loaded). For further information, refer to Organization of External Procedure Calls.
The following diagram shows the structure of a function group: The name of a function group, fgrpcan be up to 26 characters long. This is used by the system to create the components of the group (main program and corresponding include programs). When you create a function group or function module in the Function Builder , the main program and include programs are generated automatically.
The main program SAPLfgrp contains nothing but the INCLUDE statements for the following include programs:
In SAP, it is a function group - instead of function - that is loaded into active memory.
Function ( or function module ) is the one that you call from the program to do things.
A function group contains functionally related function modules, global variables and procedures .
To display / edit function module you use SE37,
To display / edit function group you use SE80 .
