How to check for a function module with its description and functionality

Hi all,
How to check for a function module,with its description and its functionality,in detail how can I know the purpose of a particular function module,how to search for a function module which suits my requirement .

Hi,
You can search a FM of your requirement by putting in the Key words and searching for a FM. Like * KEYWORD * and then pressing F4.
Say for example you need to search something regarding converstion.
Search for * CONVERT * and press F4.
If there is something specfic like converting date to something you can give
DATE * CONVERT *
OR
CONVERT * DATE *  and press F4.
Once you narrow down your search you will have a Function module documentation inside the Function module. Please note that all the FMs willl not have documentation.

Pramod

  • How to check for locks on a material - without using Enqueue function

    Hi
        We have a requirement in which - we need to check the lock ( exclusive ) on a material before we call the BAPI to update the material.
    I don't want to actually lock the material before calling the BAPI - the BAPI itself acquires the lock as a part of its processing. All I want to do is to check whether lock on a material exists before calling the BAPI - thus avoiding any lock related issues on the material in the BAPI call.
    How do we just merely check whether material is locked - any standard function module /SAP tables where in material lock is stored that we use/interrogate ?
    Correct answers will be promptly rewarded.

    Hi ,
          There is standard function enqueue_read ,based on material number .
    Pass the material number to FM ENQUEUE_READ if sy-subrc = 0 then material is locked otherwise not .
    Please reward if useful.

  • RFC function module with call transaction  and Import memory ID

    Hi,
    I am calling RFC function module from R/3 which exists in BW.
    In BW stand alone function module works fine.
    When I am Calling from R/3 it is not working,
    Can you tell me is it because of the below code, And suggest if any corrections required.
    I am calling the call transaction and using EXPORT memory iD inside the program
    and IMPORT in after that.
    And populating RFC table's table  " p_i_tcode_user" finally.
    set parameter id 'TCD' field p_tcode.
    call transaction 'Z_BW_RSUSR002' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
      ENDIF.
    get the final user data from submitted program
    import gt_users_complete from memory id tcode_userid.
    LOOP AT gt_users_complete.
          lwa_tcode_user-tcode =  p_tcode.
          lwa_tcode_user-uname = gt_users_complete-Bname.

  • How to check for impacts due to upgrade

    We are plannining to upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6..How to check for impacts on FTP'S,shell scripts and RFC's etc due to the assesment..Please suggest

    Hi,
    FTP's and Shell scripts are OS dependant not SAP or Database dependant so there will be no change at all unless you upgrade OS too. RFC's are not afected as per guides, notes and my experience.
    I´m doing an upgrade from 4.6C to 6.0 with connections with at least 10 systems and none of them had an issue during tests
    Good luck

  • Remote function module is not compilable, normal function is not

    Hi,
    i have a function module with processing type "normal function", which is compilable and working well. I'm using the type definition ABAP_COMPNAME.
    If i change the function module to "remote-enabled", i'm getting a compiler error that ABAP_COMPNAME is unknown.
    Can someone explain why this is happening? For what reason ABAP_COMPNAME is no longer available when i'm chnaging the FM to remote enabled?
    PS Please dont give any hints how to change my function module, that is NOT the question. I just want to understand the mechanism behind.

    It is clearly mentioned in SAP Help that we cannot use types from type-pool
    in RFC function modules.
    Associated Type of an Interface Parameter
    ABAP associated type for an interface parameter. The associated type must be a
    global Dictionary  type or exist in a type pool. In the latter case, the type pool must
    be declared in the function group.
    Note that you cannot use types from type pools for RFC-enabled function modules.
    When assigning a type using the LIKE typ method, you cannot use types from
    type pools either.
    Additionally you can use the internal ABAP types C, I, N, X, P, D, T, F, and the
    TABLE type - to an extent in generic form.
    You can find further information about this in the Function Builder manual and in the
    ABAP online documentation under the keyword "Types".

  • How to assign function module with process code in IDOC ?

    how to assign function module with process code in IDOC ? and what code i have to write in that function module for custom IDOC ?
    helpful answer will be rewarded?

    Hi,
    First goto transaction we42 -->editing mode --> new entries -->give name of your process code and description --> processing with alv service and function module -->then press enter -->after that enter the name of the function module you want to associate from the drop down and save it.
    Thats the way to assign function module with process code.
    In that process code we will have the Function modules and Bapi's which will take the data which we are sending through IDOC and then process it.
    for example: i am triggering the IDOC for every purchase order created then this process code in the receiver system will take the data which i have enetered in the sender system to create the purchase order and process it and creates the same purchase order in the receiver's system.
    Reward if helpful.

  • How to check for duplicates - with a twist?

    As I'm importing music from my CD collection, is there a way to automatically check for duplicates - with an unusual twist?
    I already imported about 70 CDs using AAC format.
    I just bought a huge external drive specifically for storing my entire collection of CDs and LPs. Now that I have lots of space, I want to import everything in Apple Lossless format.
    Is there an automatic (or at least painless) way to check for duplicates as I'm importing CDs, and to have the old AAC music files over written by the new Apple Lossless files?

    Hi Clinto,
    Do you see the column headers above in itunes? They say Title, Album, Artist, etc. I don't know if it's the same for MAC but in Windows, Right Click on the column headers and click "Kind". This will display the format each song is in. If your column headers already take up all of your screen, you're gonna have to uncheck one to make room for "kind".
    Oh! and to overwrite existing files, make sure the ID3 tags are filled exactly to the old ones prior to ripping, though you don't need to fill all of them. I think you just fill the Artist, Album Artist, Album, and Title. A window will appear as you start to rip. It will ask if you want to overwrite the existing files, click "Yes". Again, don't know about Mac but it works this way in Windows.

  • Function module with UPDATE TASK

    All,
    Have a look at the below code. While debugging the control is not going inside the function module called using <b>call function ...... in update task</b> statement.
    I believe the function module is not executed immediately, but is scheduled for execution in a special work process (update work process). For this purpose, the name of the function module including the passed actual parameters is stored as a log record in the database table VBLOG. If the statement is executed during the update task, the addition IN UPDATE TASK is ignored.
    The actual execution is triggered by the statement COMMIT WORK which is not happening in this case. The formal parameters of the function module receive the values of the actual parameters from table VBLOG. How can I read the entries in VBLOG? Why the function module is not executed? Please suggest.
    PERFORM bte_publish ON COMMIT LEVEL 9.
    * syncron update
        COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
    *       Publish business transaction events. The function module have
    *       to call as last update module!
    FORM bte_publish.
      IF NOT gvt_nodes IS INITIAL.
        CALL FUNCTION 'CUSTOMER_HIERARCHY_THROW_BTE' IN UPDATE TASK
             EXPORTING
                  ffi_valid_on    = knvh-datab
                  fti_event_list  = gvt_nodes
                  fti_event_listx = gvt_nodesx.
      ENDIF.
    ENDFORM.                               " BTE_PUBLISH
    Thanks,

    Right Naren. But I need to check inside the update function module, whether it is calling the BTE function module I had configured and the code which I had put in it. Any ideas?
    The COMMIT WORK is returning 4 and hence I believe it is not popping up another debuggin session in which the update FM runs.
    Thanks,

  • RFC Function module-With Only Request message

    Hi
    i need a RFC with only Request message and Response message is not required.
    please help me, how to create a RFC function module with out Response message, and it should contain only Request message.
    i have created RFC in this way:
    RFC doesn't contain neither import nor export parameters. and i have defined one table in TABLE tab which refers to a ztable created already.
    when i imported RFC into XI i came to know that RFC has both Request and Response messages, but i don't need Response message.
    Thanks in advance..help would be appreciated
    Regards,
    Rajesh

    Thankx Michal,
    I have written ZRFC this way:
    insert ZMM_AUTO_GR from INPUT_TABLE .
      if sy-subrc = 0.
        commit work.
      else.
       rollback work.
    im not using neither import nor export parameters..but using only tables parameters. but when imported in XI im getting same table  structure in both request an response.
    please suggest what changes required in above code to invoke my ZRFC in async way.
    you will not get any response in XI- what chages required in my code to dnt get .reponse in XI.
    appreciate your help.

  • Creating function modules with step by step

    Hi,
       plz provide me the material for creating function modules with step by step.

    Hi Nagaraju,
    Step 1.
    GO to transaction SE80.In the drop box list select function group enter your Z Function group name.Press enter it will ask for creating the function group.Create your function group.
    OR
    In SE37 transaction,in the menu bar Goto - > Function Group - > Create Group.Your Function Group will be created.
    Step 2.
    Go to transaction SE37.Enter your Z Function module name,your recently created function group name and the description.Press Enter.Now your FM is created.
    Step 3.
    Enter Export,Import parameters.In the source code tab write the code what you want to write.If any exception write in the exception tab.
    Method 2)
    First u have to create Function Group.
    1.se37->Goto->Function Group--->Create.
    2.Create FM.
    3.maintain import /export parameters and tables , exceptions.
    4.based on the ur requirement u have to bulid ur logic in Source Code by using there Import parameters and u can pass the results by using Export or table.
    5.u can raise error by using exception.

  • How to check for updates on SCM packages?

    Hey guys,
    I wondered for some time now how to check for updates on SCM packages, i.e. -git
    or -svn ones. Updates for binary packages are automatically updated by pacman,
    no problem there. Checking for updates on non-SCM packages from the AUR is
    easily done with one of the various helper tools available (personally, I use
    slurpy).
    However, SCM packages can change without their PKGBUILD changing, so I'm not
    notified that I should recompile and update them.
    Is there a "proper" way of doing this? Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance!

    If your system is booting then u can say that your bootblks are installed.Usually BootBlks are present in 0 & 1 slice of UFS Filesystem
    /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs
    directory where ufs boot objects reside.
    An x86 FDISK partition for the Solaris software begins with a one-cylinder boot slice, which contains the partition boot program (pboot) in the first sector, the standard Solaris disk label and volume table of contents (VTOC) in the second and third sectors, and the bootblk program in the fourth and subsequent sectors. When the FDISK partition for the Solaris software is the active partition, the master boot program (mboot) reads the partition boot program in the first sector into memory and jumps to it. It in turn reads the bootblk program into memory and jumps to it. Regardless of the type of the active partition, if the drive contains multiple FDISK partitions, the user is given the opportunity to reboot another partition.

  • Log on into the function module with different user name.

    hi,
            i log on into the system with my user id suppose 'mukka' and i have to check the authorization of another user say 'you' using the function module "authority_check_tcode". but here i am getting the problem that when i assigned sy-uname to 'you' and execute the function module it is entering into the function module with 'mukka' user name only.
    sample code:-
                                sy-uname  = p_uname.
        CALL FUNCTION 'AUTHORITY_CHECK_TCODE'  "#EC"
          EXPORTING
            tcode  = v_tcode
          EXCEPTIONS
            ok     = 1
            not_ok = 2.
    when i am changing the sy-uname with p_uname the sy-uname is changed but when i entered into the function module authority_check_tcode in the debugging mode at the below the sy-uname variable is showing  as 'mukka' only. but i need to check the authorizations of user 'you' pls give me solution to my problem.

    Hi,
    Why would you want to check the authorisation of another user and not the one currently logged in?  The idea of authorisations is to check the current user is able to perform a certain activity.  The majority of fields on SYST are constantly updated to have the correct values (partly so you can't fiddel authorisation checks like this
    Maybe if you explain to us what you are trying to do we can offer some other help.
