Se10 : transporting functiongroups and function modules

We have a function group ZGROUP. In this group we have several function modules.(ZXX,ZXX1,ZXX2, etc)
Now we have to make some changes :
One Abap consultant (A) is changing one function module(ZXX) in the group zgroup.
Another Abap consultant(B) is making an new function module(ZYY) in the group zgroup.
In the transport organizer (se10) .
  for Consultant A :  request(1) with function module ZXX
  for Consultant B  : request(2) with function group ZGROUP (because he is adding  a new module in the group ZGROUP)
Now Consultant(B) has finished with his new function module(ZYY) and is transporting request(2) to the test system.
What happens: The whole functiongroup ZGROUP is transported to the test system including the function module ZXX of the Consultant(A).
Consultant(A) was still working on  his changes , but his module (ZXX) was also transported to the test system.
How can we monitoring this.
When consultant(B) is saving his new module there is now warning or message
that another Consultant(A)  is changing a function module in the same group.
Greetings,
  Harry

Hi,
Actually there will be no message or warrning. Untill unless import the transport it will not reflect the changes. i.e. as per your example B transport sent to another system also you will not find the changes made by A.
Thanks

  • Diff b/w BAPI and Function Module.

    What is the difference between BAPI and Function Module....
    By Interface programming do we mean posting data thru  BAPI,BDC....

    Hi Alex,
    BAPI: Standard Interface in the R/3 system that allows the system to communicate with components of other business suites.
    FM: These are the procedures that are defined in the Function Groups and can be called from any ABAP Program. FM allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions int he R/3 system.
    The main basic difference between BAPI and FM are
    1) All BAPIs are FM but not all FMs are BAPIs
    2) BAPIs are remote enabled
    3) BAPIs interface will not have a changing and exceptions. They can not be used to have use dialog.
    Interface programs can post data to SAP either through a BDC, BAPI, IDOC etc. It depends on the type of requirement.
    Hope this solves your question.
    Enjoy SAP

  • Difference between bapi and function module

    Can you guys tell me what are the differences in calling bapis and function modules?
    I see we are calling both as the same way we call function modules. May be for bapis, we need to be careful in declaring and passing those exact structures. Can you please make it clear reg. the differences between them?
    I appreciate it.
    Thanks!

  • What is the difference between subroutine and function module?

    What is the difference between subroutine and function module?

    Hi,
    they can both return values.
    FMs are mainly used when a routine is to be performed by many programs.
    Subroutines (forms) are generally only executed within one program.
    You can perform routines from other programs, but it's not often done.
    both forms and FMs are reusable modularization units.
    To distinguish we generally say that forms are used for internal modularization and
    FMs are used for external modularization.
    To decide on which to implement, consider whether you need the content to be used just for a limited program
    or wheteher it can be called from many independent programs.
    For the first purpose it is better to implement a form whereas for the second we implement an FM.
    However, ABAP does not isolate the usage context.
    That is; you can call a form from another program within whose code the form is not actually implemented.
    However, this requires attention since the form may utilize global variables.
    The same issue holds for FMs.
    FMs are encapsulated in function groups and function groups may have global variables that can be globally
    used by all FMs inside it.

  • Standard Macro and Functional Module in HR -Programming.

    Hi friends,
    Could i know the difference between a standard macro and a function module in hr programming.
    how do we have to use that and what are the different std macro's and functional modules used in HR-Programming...
    Thanks in Advance..
    Regards
    Shiva

    You will find the macros in table TRMAC .
    Macros are set of pre defined instructions .
    You can define your own macros in the program using 'definition' command  or use standard macros.
    you will find most of the HR function module starting  with HR*  or RH * .
    You can get Macro  definition  /  its fundamental difference with function module on web .

  • Tracing Form and Function modules using SE30

    Hi,
      I want to trace only the Forms and function modules that are executed by a program using SE30. I have tried setting the variants in different ways but it still gives lot of junk information which i dont need. How can I set up the variant so that it only traces Forms and function modules executed by a program?
    Will give points to right answer. Thanks for reading

    Hi Srikrishna,
    First of all create a vraian tin SE30. While creating the variant, in th Tab 'Duratn/Type' select the radio buton 'NONE'. Now execute yur program and then analyse.Select 'GROUP HIT LIST' Icon which gives Function Modules,Subroutines etc.

  • 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.

  • To use SubRoutines and function modules and include

    Hellow Friends ,
    Can any body suggest me at waht situations we have to use SubRoutines and function modules and include in an abap report and also i need the standards in an abap program.

    Hi Rajesh,
    You use create subroutines within your programs for those block of codes which are used often within the scope of the development. Function modules are like global subroutines , hence any number programs which might want to use the functionality within the function module can do so.
    Creating includes is a good programming prctise, e.g. one for data declerations , one for subroutines, so that it makes the code more reader friendly and also helps in modularizing the program. Also once you put a subroutine in an include, you can use the same subroutine in other programs by referring to the include with the INCLUDE statement in your other programs.
    Hence basically they are used for :
    1. Reusability
    2. Modularization of code (make it more readable)
    Hope this is of some help.
    Regards,
    Aditya
