Helper Function Module; one or many

I have been doing all my function development in individual ps1 files for ease of testing. I.e. I have a Reg-Functions file, which contains all my Registry manipulation functions, and I have some script level code at the bottom to test the functions. I had
planned to then put all the helper functions together in a single module, but smaller files are a little easier to get around in, so now I wonder if having 10 or 12 different modules is a better way to go?
Also, I can see some of them having shared dependencies. So A.psm1 & B.psm1 both depend on Z.psm1. Can I load Z.psm1 in both without trouble when I then load both into script.ps1? Or is there bad juju there? I know, this is one I should just test rather
than asking the question, but I am away from the Windows VM at the memento and just had the thought.

Attempting to import a module that is already loaded a second time will not affect anything.
As for one big module versus 12 smaller ones, I would really see that as personal preference on how you want to manage them. How many functions are we talking about total? I have seen some modules with hundreds of functions, I guess it can also
come down to how long you want the import process to take especially if you have a large number of seldom used functions.

Hi Drogo ( sorry u didn't make it to more sessions )
that Ledger above which Dinesh Kumar Rengarajan menitone is only relevant when New GL is activated. I think you didn't have New GL active or?
Please use simply in F.01 "Special evaluatioins" and field Alternative period selection ( for referenc use simply F1 ... it will show this example
Examples
Company code 0001 with fiscal year end 12
Company code 0002 with fiscal year end 09Calendar reporting period............. 01/01/1990 - 12/31/1990
The periods 1990/01 to 1990/16 are used as reporting periods for company code 0001 and the periods 1990/04 to 1990/16 and 1991/01 to 1991/03 are used as reporting periods for company code 0002. The same is valid for the comparison period.
I think this is what you want or?

Using translate function for one to many character translation

Hi friends!
Can anybody tell me whether it is possible to use built in translate function for converting some text from a one alphabet to another one, if these alphabets are of different length. Something like
SELECT TRANSLATE('текст',
'АБВГДЕЕЖЗИКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЭЮЯ',
'ABCGDEF"*GH*"HIJKLMNOPQRSTYVWXYZ') FROM dual;
Or there is another function for this, or it is impossible?
Thanks

Hi,
Maybe you could use REPLACE just once, and then TRANSLATE the rest?
Something like:
SELECT TRANSLATE(REPLACE('ABcDE', 'c', 'xz'),
                 'ABCDE',
                 'abcde') from dual;
TRANSLATE(REPLACE('ABCDE','C','XZ'),'ABCDE','ABCDE')
abxzde
1 row selected.Regards

"Use one as many "function

Hi All
I have a scenario from RFC to WSDL in which if certain conditions fulfil only then can I pass the value to the target field "SERVCODE".
The problem is there are many conditions which are to be fulfilled to have the value passed.
I tried using the function "use One As Many" but I got stuck at the "OR" condtion because its taking only boolean values.
Please have a look at the scenario and help me!!
Also I am preferring to have a graphical mapping but if nothing works out User defined function would do.

How to control iteration of function module in generic extraction to BW

Hi Experts,
I am customizing standard Function module RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE. My problem is, while excecuting datasource in RSA3, my function module is repeating many times.....example if my FM fetches data of 70 records.......FM is repeating 70* n times while executing it in a data source.
How to contol this loop?
Can anyone please help me.

Hi,
This FM is used to get list of files from Application server (will work in Background). This cannot be used to list files from presentation server. There is no way , by which you can process presentation server files in background mode.

Initialization in function module

hi all,
i have created one function module, one of the select option is declared as
S_BELNR TYPE   RSELOPTION.
i will have in the select option as
SIGN    OPTION    LOW   HIGH
WE want to declare SIGN and OPTION default in the code itself as
s_belnr-sign = 'I'.
s_belnr-option = 'EQ'.
Append s_belnr.
but an error has been occured as S_BELNR is table without a header line and therefore has no component called 'SIGN'.
Please let me know how to delcare them default.
thanks in advance

if i declare as
DATA :s_belnr TYPE RANGE OF bseg-belnr,
              w_belnr like line of s_belnr.
getting an error as
s_belnr has already declared.

Function Module for REBDBU0012-BU Field Modification Criteria - Sample reqd

We are using three distinct type of Business Entities to look after three types of business of client. For this we have defined three number ranges for each such BE. Now, we wish to use Transaction code "REBDBU0012-BU Field Modification Criteria " and wish to define the field status of based in BE number range criteria.
I have discussed this in detail with my developer but he is unable to find any help/functional module. Is there any sample object available with in SAP library or if any member from SAP community could help us in it.
Regards
Rohit Goel

Hi Rohit,
function module that gets field status für BU in standard is REBU_REBU_EVENT_FMOD2.
There is no such function module that fulfills your requirement available yet.
For your requirement you have to develop your own function module with the same parameters and in the function module you have to insert the logic to determine the field status as you require it.
You may use REBU_GET_BUSOBJ to get the data of the object and so you should have all necessary information. As I already mentioned you can use RERO_RERO_EVENT_FMOD2_USAGE as an example.
Hope that helps.
Regards, Franz

Flex2.0 issue with function modul

Hi Experts,
I have a problem within the Visual Composer. When I enter a value for a variable and we push the button to run the function module rsr_var_pers_var_set the paramter for the variable is not transferred to the DSO Personalisierungs Daten für Variablen Ersetzung. We have compiled our model with the flex2.0. When we compile the model with the flex1.5 it works. Is this a bug. Is there any workaround for the flex 2.0?
Thanks
Matthias

Hi Amiya,
I have more than 10 variables in the selection screen and I would like to personalize all of them when the user has select or enter his values. Therefore I use the function module RSR_VAR_PERS_VAR_SET. But in the VC model I have to connect for each variable the selection screen with the function module, because I didn`t know if it is possible to call the function module one time for all variables. (When you add the function module to the VC model it`s not possible to enter the parameters for more than one variable.)

ABAP-HR: function module

Hi all,
I need to know about the function module
ENQUEUE_EPPRELE
and
DEQUEUE_EPPRELE
please give me idea on their interfaces and usage.
Thanks.
Anirban Bhattacharjee.

We use these function modules one b4 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION' and one after the same,in the following way :
ENQUEUE_EPPRELE
HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION
DEQUEUE_EPPRELE
Effect of using 'ENQUEUE_EPPRELE' and 'DEQUEUE_EPPRELE' : If we use these FM's then only records get updated at DB level.If we dont use them records will not get updated at all.

Need help for the Function Module 'PFL_GET_PARAMETER_INFO'

Hi Experts,
The FM 'PFL_GET_PARAMETER_INFO' returns the value for Profile Parameters for a system .
The inputs required for this FM are :
1. Parameter name : ( eg . login/min_password_lng etc. )
2 . Parameter Type
I am not sure about what the value of Parameter Type should be .
Its a mandatory field.
I have tried to search but could not find anything.
Can you please help me on this?
Thanks in Advance,
Harshit Rungta

What exactly is the use-case for this?
Many developers "c-call" the params and neglect this feature of the type - also whether it is static or dynamic. Some params are even dynamic as system profiles in one direction but static as instance parameters in the other direction when changing the value.
As you cannot create your own system profile parameters, I do not see the use-case for why you are wanting to check it in advance, because the application APIs should do this.
What you are possibly looking for is function module SUSR_GENERATE_PASSWORD in this case. It will respect "the rules" in the params.
Do not use the legacy function RSEC_GENERATE_PASSWORD directly.
Cheers,
Julius

How many types of function modules are there

hi gurus,
how many types of function modules are there...
what type of function module bapi is....
i don't know much about that...
pls help me...

praveen

hi
hope it will help you.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Function Modules Used in Script:
In the Driver Program we must use all or some of the function modules that are listed below to transfer the data.
Open_Form
Close_Form
Start_Form
Write_Form
Write_Form_Lines
End_Form
Control_Form
Read_Form_elements
Read_Form_Lines
Any driver program must contain Open_Form, Close_Form and Write_Form. Other function modules are optional.
OPEN_FORM: This function module opens layout set printing. One must call this function module before he uses any of other layout set function modules like Write_Form, Start_Form, Control_Form etc., You need specify a layout set name in the export parameters of this function module. If nothing is passed to Open_Form then one should use Start_Form function module to open layout set before starting the output. The layout set opened by Open_Form should be closed by Close_Form function module, other wise output doesnt appear. We can use any number of Open_Form, Close_Form functions in one single program. But Close_Form must be there for every Open_Form in the program.
Some of the important export parameters we have to pass to Open_Form function module.
Form: Enter the Layout set name here, which then controls the output formatting. If nothing is specified then we must use Start_Form for opening layout set.
Language: Layout sets are Language dependent. Enter the desired language here. If the entered layout set is not in that language, then the function tries to open the Form entered in its original language. The default value is SY-LANGU.
Device: SAP Script can format a text on different device types. The device can be PRINTER or TELEX, TELEFAX, ABAP and SCREEN.
Dialog: Use parameter DIALOG to determine whether to display a dialog box before printing, in which the user can set several spool parameters for print formatting. Possible values: SPACE displays no print parameter screen. 'X' display print parameter screen. Default value: 'X'
Options: Use parameter OPTIONS to set several options for print formatting. The parameter has the structure ITCPO. The user can change some of the defined settings on the print control screen. The default value for Options is . We will discuss about ITCPO structure in detail later.
Other Export, Import and Exceptions are self-explanatory.
Close_Form: The function module closes the layout set opened using OPEN_FORM. The system executes any terminating processing steps for the last opened layout set. No Export parameters for this Function Module.
Start_Form: In-between the function modules OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM, we can use different layout sets. This allows us to combine several different layout sets into one print output. However, we can combine only those layout sets that have the same page format. To switch layout sets, use the function module START_FORM. If another layout set is still open, we must close it first using END_FORM. If we specify no layout set name when calling START_FORM, the system restarts the last open layout set. If after OPEN_FORM no layout set was activated yet, the system leaves the function module with the exception UNUSED. Some of the important export parameters for this function module are
Form: The parameter contains the name of the layout set you want to use for printing. If you specify no layout set here, the system restarts the last active layout set.
Language: Layout sets are language-dependent. Enter the desired language here. If the layout set does not exist in this language, the system tries to call the layout set in its original language. If the parameter LANGUAGE is empty, the system uses the language of the last active layout set.
Startpage: Usually, SAP script starts with the page specified as start page in the layout set definition. If we want to start output with another layout set page, enter the name of the desired layout set page here. If the desired page is not defined, the system uses the start page defined in the layout set.
Program: To replace program symbols, SAP script must know which active program contains the work areas for the values to be passed. If we omit the parameter, the system searches for the field values in the program that was specified in the parameter OPTIONS (field TDPROGRAM) of OPEN_FORM. If we enter a program name, the system replaces the program symbols with the values from this program up to the next END_FORM.
Exceptions and other Export, Import parameters are self-explanatory.
Write_Form: The system outputs the layout set element specified in parameter ELEMENT into the currently opened layout set. In the parameter WINDOW we can specify the name of a window for the output. Remember that the layout set element must be defined in this window. The parameter FUNCTION specifies how to merge the text lines to be output with any existing contents in the window. In this case, there are differences between the different window types or areas. Some of the important export parameters used in Write_Form.
Element: Specify the name of the text element you want to output into the layout set window specified in the parameter WINDOW. The element must be defined in that layout set window. If you specify no element, the system uses the default element, if one is defined in the layout set.
Window: Specify the name of the window into which you want to output the layout set element specified in the parameter ELEMENT. Default value for Window is MAIN.
Function: The parameter determines how to output the text element into the respective window. The output type depends on the window type and area:
Window Type: MAIN Area: BODY
SET/APPEND: Appends to previous output.
Window Type: Main Area: Top/Bottom and
Window Type: Other than Main and all areas
SET : Delete the old element contents and prints the new elements
APPEND: Appends the new content to existing elements.
Type: The system interprets this parameter only for output to the main window. The parameter determines the area of the main window into which we want to output the element. Possible values: 'TOP' header area
'BODY' main area
'BOTTOM' footer area
Default value: 'BODY'
Write_Form_Lines: This function module outputs the text lines in table LINES into the specified layout set window. The text lines must have the SAP script ITF format. From the data in the text header, the system uses only the field TDSTYLE to apply the formatting attributes defined in the specified style for this text. If the field is empty, the system uses the identically named formatting attributes (character and paragraph formats) of the layout set.
Use parameter WINDOW to specify into which of the windows defined in the layout set we want to output the text. We can specify any window used in the layout set. The parameter FUNCTION determines how to merge the text lines to be output with any existing contents in the window. There are differences between the different window types or areas.
Header: This parameter contains the header of the text module we want to output in the current layout set. For the formatting process, the system uses only the entries in the header fields TDSTYLE and TDFORM. Structure: THEAD
WINDOW: Enter the name of the window into which we want to output the layout set element specified in parameter ELEMENT. Default value: 'MAIN'
FUNCTION: This parameter determines how to output the text element into the respective window. The output type depends on the window type and area: Window type MAIN, area BODY: 'SET' append to previous output 'APPEND' same as SET. DELETE' no effect. Window type MAIN, areas TOP and BOTTOM; all other windows: 'SET' delete old window or area contents and output the element 'APPEND' append the element to the existing elements 'DELETE' no effect Default value: 'SET'
TYPE: The system interprets this parameter only for output to the main window. The parameter determines the area of the main window into which you want to output the element. Possible values: 'TOP' header area 'BODY' main area 'BOTTOM' footer area Default value: 'BODY'
END_FORM: END_FORM ends the currently open layout set and executes the required termination processing. After calling this function module, no more layout set is active. For further output, we must start a new layout set using START_FORM. No Export parameters.
CONTROL_FORM: Use this function module to pass SAP Script Control Commands to the layout set. The Control command is passed through the export parameter COMMAND in quotes.
READ_FORM_ELEMENTS: This function module fills a table with all text elements that appear in one layout set. If we specify no layout set name, the system includes all elements of the currently open layout set. If we specify a layout set, the system uses the information about the active version of the layout set, retrieved from the database. Here we have two export parameters, Form and Language and a table parameter Elements.
READ_FORM_LINES: Use this function module to transfer the lines of a layout set element into an internal table. If we specify no layout set name, the system transfers the text lines of the currently open layout set. If we specify a layout set, the system uses the text lines of the active version of the layout set from the database. The Export parameters are Form, Language, Window and Element. If we pass these 4 parameters the function module returns a table with the lines from layout set.
Function modules are one element. There are no types. However sometimes an RFC enabled function module is referred to as RFC Function module, but really it is just a function module. Also BAPIs are function modules, but are usually referred to as just BAPI as opposed to BAPI Function module.
There is no different function module types , but calling the function module will be different.
check this function calls syntax
1. Calls a function module:
CALL FUNCTION func.
2. Call a function module in a different mode (asynchronous Remote Function Call):
CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK taskname.
3. Call a function module in the update task:
CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK.
4. Call a function module in a remote system (Remote Function Call, RFC ):
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION dest.
5. Asynchronous call to a function module with transactional processing (transactional Remote Function Call):
CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.
qRFC with output queue
6. Call a function module that can be activated in the context of enhancements:
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION func.

Noob help with creating a new function module

Hi everyone,
I'm just learning SAP and trying to integrate a WMS system towards it and I'm losing hair over it hehehe
The scenario is that I want to extract Purchase Order Rows details and that's not a hard thing to do since there are multiple BAPIs that can be invoked, for example BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL.
I'm using .NET Connector 3 to talk to SAP.
The problem however is that I want to see how many articles that have already been delivered into the warehouse using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE. There is no information returned when using BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL that specifies that a Purchase Order Row has a quantity of 30 and that 20 has already been delivered.
That information can be retrieved by using BAPI_GOODSMVT_GETITEMS.
The problem with using BAPI_GOODSMVT_GETITEMS is that it returns all of the rows and I am only interrested in retrieveing the rows with quantity for a specific purchase order.
So i decided to create my own BAPI or Function Module (or whatever it's called) that would take a PO_NUMBER and PO_ITEM and return the quantity of already delivered items. For example if one of the PO Rows (10) has 100 items and there has been 2 partial deliveries of 20 and 30. The function should return the value of 50 because it's the sum of 20 and 30.
My code looks like this:
FUNCTION ZBAPI_GOODSMVT_GETITEMS.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(PO_NUMBER) TYPE BSTNR
*"     VALUE(PO_ITEM) TYPE EBELP
*" EXPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(ENTRY_QNT) TYPE ERFMG
SELECT SUM( MENGE ) INTO ENTRY_QNT FROM MSEG
WHERE
EBELN = PO_NUMBER AND
EBELP = PO_ITEM.
ENDFUNCTION.
The problem is that when i try to Activate it it says:
REPORT/PROGRAM statement missing, or program type is INCLUDE.
What am i missing? Is there an easier way to extract already delivered quantities when extracting PO information?
