Function Module or Method needed to Convert Nodes?

When I read hierarchies of nodes, the first parent node can be lets say 3, its children are 2. Old logic the I have expects 0, not three for the parent. I can write some logic to convert all but wondering if their was an SAP FM or method I could use instead.
Thank-You

Hi Vishnu,
Have a look at this FM.
CO_MP_CREATE_PURCHASE_ORDER
and also this
OIO_RS_M_CREATE_PURCHASE_ORDER
Reward points if this helps,

Function module or Method for changing a program with transport

Hi,
Can anybody please let me know if there is any Function module or Method to change a program under a Transport request
(so it needs to go to next Version for the program). I tried using
INSERT REPORT .... with all options for this command. It is changing the program successfully but all are creating the program locally.
I successfully found CIF_PROGRAM_INSERT for creating new program under a TR.
But struggling a lot to find the same kind of FM or Method to change a program.
Can anybody help?
//Kothand

Hi,
Thanks. But i am asking for a Function module which can edit a program and keep it inside a Transport request.
This FM is to import any change request.

Process an Interactive Form in a function module or method

Hello,
If I process an interactive form in a report everthing works fine. But when I execute the same coding in a function module or method nothing works! The call of the function module fm_name returns sy-subrc = 1 (usage error).
I believe that function call of 'FP_JOB_OPEN' cause the problems. I can't spool this job in an function module or method.
What can I do for using interactive Forms in a method.
If anybody had the same problem a piece of of coding will help.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hierarchy Function Modules (or Methods)?

I am trying to retrieve all hierarchies, and their children nodes, below a main node. Is there a function module in SEM/BCS for doing this?
Are there other function modules that come in handy with hierarchies?
      Thank-You.

There isn't a single FM that I'm aware of. You can piggy back the standard BCS functionality and acheive something similar.
You need to know period, year, version and fiscal year variant.
Then...for this structure:
CG1
- CG2
- CG3
- - CG4
you can pass CG1 as your "parent" and retreive CG2, CG3, and CG4 as selections (according to date-from date-to in your CG master data).
I'll try to include the relevant section for this (it's from a number of methods in a class I created for an outbound interface)....I'm sure I don't have all the data declarations, and I might have a few unnecessary sections.

Hope that helps...if not, you might be able to do a find for some of the sections of the code to find exactly how SAP is doing (I can only say that this functionality worked in my situation, not sure it works in all consolidation scenarios).

How to call ABAP function module/ class method through web service?

Hi Colleagues,
I need to write an iphone version of current ABAP program. I want to call ABAP method and function module through my iphone so that I can re-use the ABAP APIs.So I choose web service. Can you give me any details information about how to do that?
Thank you very much

Hi,
you need to create webservice out of FM. goto SE80 and follow the webservice creation wizard. Finally use webservice url for calling FM (remote enabled) from your iPhone.

How to call function module/ class method of another system.

Suppose now i am working in System A. And i need to check the system Status of System B, System C, System D....
my design is to provide an interface. and each system realize the interface individually.now my question is how cani call the interface, because they are in different systems.
of course i know about the host name, port and logon information over these systems.
who can give my some suggestions or other solutions.
thanks in advance.
Johnney.

Hello,
If u want to call a FM of the other system then that FM should be a RFC enable on one.
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION dest.
Effect
Executes the function module from an external source (as a Remote Function Call or RFC); dest can be a literal or a variable.
Depending on the specified destination, the function module is executed in another R/3 or R/2 System. Externally callable function modules must be flagged as such in the Function Builder (of the target system).
Since each destination defines its own program context, further calls to the same or different function modules with the same destination can access the local memory (global data) of these function modules.
To maintain existing destinations, choose Tools -> Administration, Administration -> Network -> RFC destinations
Note
Under certain circumstances, an RFC may trigger a database commit. For this reason, RFCs must not be used between pairs of SQL statements that open and close a database cursor (such as SELECT... ENDSELECT).

Difference between Function Module Vs Method in Class Module

1) Can you please tell the difference between the Function module used in abap program and the method of the class module used in abap programming.
2) does it necessary to do commit statement after calling the function module.
Thankyou for you time.
Bhaskar.

Hi,
1)
Check this difference..
The main difference between real object orientation and function groups is that although a program can work with the instances of several function groups at the same time, it cannot work with several instances of a single function group. Suppose a program wanted to use several independent counters, or process several orders at the same time. In this case, you would have to adapt the function group to include instance administration, for example, by using numbers to differentiate between the instances.
2) COMMIT WORK is required for BAPI..And not required when you normally call a function module..Unless required ..
Example
Update function modules requires COMMIT WORK to execute the function module.
Thanks,
Naren

BOR object cannot use function module as method

Hi All,
I have a function module with an import parameter referring to data element DE_ABC. BOR indicates that it doesn't support this data type. However, if I define a DB table with a field whose type is DE_ABC and use that field as reference in FM interface definition, that FM can be used by the BOR object. Does anybody have any idea about this issue?
Best Regards
Jerome

Hello,
Please always mention version. It may help if you told us what data type, but to give a theoretical answer I'd say this would be correct behaviour.
BOR is old, it was created to bring some kind of OO to then procedural ABAP. It has also not changed much, therefore doesn't support some of the newer data types. On the other hand it doesn't look at the components of a structure, so placing an unsupported element into a structure is a perfect workaround.
Be careful however when using deep structures or one of the variable length types such as STRING. As I use classes most of the time I have no idea how they would behave but a quick test should verify whether it works.
Hope that helps,
Mike

Regarding Function modules and methods

Hi,
which of these calls to GUI_UPLOAD is more efficient?
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
or
CALL FUNCTION GUI_UPLOAD

both does the same job. if you look at the code inside the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
it would be calling GUI_UPLOAD function.
in terms of performance efficiency, there will be a very negligible differece and call function will be slightly better in my opinion.

Function module to convert date form yyyy/mm/dd to dd/mm/yyyy format

Can any one tell me Function module to convert date form yyyy/mm/dd to dd/mm/yyyy format?

have a look at the WIKI FAQs...they are very useful
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/abap/abapDevelopmentand+Programming&
For this it says:
How to convert a date to internal or external format?
Use the functions modules CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL or CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL
to convert the date. When converting to external format, the date format from the user's user profile will be used. When converting to internal format, the result will be in YYYYMMDD format.

Calling a Selection Screen from a Function Module/Method

Hi,
I would like to call a selection screen from a function module or method. I understand it is not possible by the definition. Are there any alternative options as I am looking for the Variants Save option on the screen. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Raghav

Since i don't know your exact requirements (standard SAP selection screen? your own selection screen?) the onl;y thing i can come up with is:
1. in your function pool create your own screen with a subscreen area
2. create your own selection screen as a subscreen.
3. include the selection subscreen in the first screen
4. call the first screen in your function.
