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

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

Aditya

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

Question about Function group

Hi All,
I have to transport a function module from development to next environment. The function group has around 9 function modules among them i have edited one and assigned to a transport request. Do I have to include function group also in the transport along with the function module? pls suggest, in which scenarios we have to transport function group along with function module?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Suresh,
You dont need to transport the Function Group. You would transport it only if the FG is not available in another system or if there is any change in the main program of the FG.
If you create a New Function Module and attach the FM to this FG, then an include gets automatically added to the main program. In this scenario you may need to transport all.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram.

About report groups and read programs for the object EC_PCA_SUM

Hi Friends,
Hope every one is doing well..!
I've an issue with the report groups and read programs for the object EC_PCA_SUM. As we know that the report groups and read programs available for this object in the application customizing are used to analys the archived data.
That is these programs comes into picture after the archiving operation.
For more information, you can visit the below web site:
[http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/e4/69f353b75a11d1b5850000e82debc6/frameset.htm]
Now, my question is how would I check the code for these analysing programs available for this object. I can't see this in SE38.
Thanks to reply for this..
Full marks will be awarded.
Regards,
Shamim

Hi Lakshman,
Thanks for the reply.
Hi Deiter,
You're right.
Your provided transaction "GR55" helped me to find out the program name for a particular group. However, these are just Write and Painter reports.
But can you please let me know the functionality of these report groups ?? what are these used for ???
Do we have these programs for other archiving objects like CO_ITEM,CO_ML_BEL,MM_MATBEL,CO_ORDER,
PP_PLAN,PP_BKFLUSH ??
More points will be awarded.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Shamim

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

Hi Paulo and welcome on board !
Please don't post twice the same question...(look in the other one...)

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

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.

Rich Heilman

[Solved] Questions about /etc/group and /etc/gshadow

This morning, package filesystem was upgraded to 2015.02-1 and pacnew files were created for /etc/group and /etc/gshadow. I ran diff against my current files, and the differences seem very minor, to me. I need some guidance to understand whether I should implement the pacnew changes.
The only significant difference I see in the group file is that in my original version, my username is added to the wheel group. This seems correct, to me.
For gshadow, there is the same difference for wheel. However, there are several entries where my original entry contains an exclamation point, but the new version does not. For example:
< proc:!::
> proc:::
If I run man /etc/gshadow, it does not give me what I understand as a man page, and gives me what appears to be a listing of the stuff in my /etc/gshadow file, instead. Which does not help me.
So, like I say, I need some guidance on dealing with these pacnew files.
Tim
PS - I now see that "man gshadow" gives me an actual man page. Sorry. I am currently studying it.
Last edited by ratcheer (2015-02-24 21:37:52)

After the update to filesystem 2015.02-1 some voices in /etc/gshadow were changed (in the pacnew file) from
systemd-journal-gateway:!::
systemd-timesync:!::
systemd-network:!::
systemd-bus-proxy:!::
systemd-resolve:!::
to
systemd-journal-gateway:::
systemd-timesync:::
systemd-network:::
systemd-bus-proxy:::
systemd-resolve:::
What's the change? Before they had a locked password (the ! sign) and now they haven't?

Question about functions methods and variables

Sorry but i couldn't figure out a better title.
When does a method alter the variables it gets directly and when does a method just alter a clone of the variables it gets?
How about a funcion?
for example:
public void (int i)
i = 4;
sometimes this method alters the integer which was given to it directly and sometimes it automatically creates a clone of the integer and alters that one. I just can't figure out why a method would do the first or the second.
Im trying to achieve the direct changeing of the given variable without creating an unessecary clone.
Thank You

Thank YouThats quite all right about the title, trust me we get much worse titles on this forum. Most of the time to the effect of "Plz urgentlly!!!!111one"
In Java, all variables passed into methods are passed by value, which means that if I pass an int variable to a method, that methods argument will always be a seperate variable. There is no way to pass variables by reference so that you are altering the original variable you passed in.
It actually works the same way for reference variables that point to a particular object.
public Object o = new Object();
methodOne(o);
public void methodOne(Object oArg) {
o == oArg; //true
}It is essentially the same in this case, there are two seperate reference variables here, o and oArg is created once the method is called. There is only one Object created however and both reference variables point to it, so an == check will verify this that it is true.

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.
Cheers,
Hakim
