Hi can you please provide alternate replacement function modules for the following obsolete function modules in ECC.
LOG_SYSTEM_GET_RFC_DESTINATION
NAMETAB_GET
VALUES_GET
VALUES_DISPLAY
WS_QUERY
HELPSCREEN_NA_CREATE

for WS_QUERY replacement are...
GUI_GET_DESKTOP_INFO
GUI_GET_FILE_INFO
GUI_EXEC
GUI_RUN
CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_EXIST or WS_QUERY-Directory Exist is CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_EXIST
also, check...

How to find the Obsolete function module in ECC 6.0

Hi Guys,
How we can find the all obsolete function in ECC 6.0, is any T-code to finding the obsolete function modules, or any other way to find.
Could you please help me.
Thanks,
Gourisankar.

Hi Gouri,
If you are looking at determining whether a single FM is obsolete or not is by this method:
Go to FM in SE37 -> Goto Attributes Tab -> General Data section -> look above the Edit Lock field ... where SAP places the release status and date of the FM, if the FM is obsolete, the text Function Obsolete appears
This is one way of finding out one FM @ a time
However if you want to check on a mass scale, I dont have a SAP system here hence cant confirm, however, all FMs are stored in TFDIR database table. Please scroll through the fields of the DB table to check whether any field relates to release status or the like. If it does, then from SE16, you can put the value corresponding to "Obsolete" in the field and run to check all FMs.
Cheers,
Aditya

Obsolete Function Modules in ECC 6.0

hi all,
Can anyone provide me alternative function modules or Methods for below mentioned FM.
WS_QUERY
WS_ULDL_PATH
WLK1_CHECK
CARD_CHARACTERISTIC_READ
F4_SEARCH_HELP
WS_EXCEL
Regards,
Anurag

Go to SE37. Enter the name of the obsolete function module - e.g. WS_QUERY
Click on "Function Module Documentation". This will tell you where to find the replacement.
If that doesn't help, look at class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

How to find Obsolete function modules ?

Hi ,
I am working on upgrade project R/3 4.6 to ECC 6.0 . I need to find obsolete function modules in program . I already have list of obsolete FM .Is there any program or logic through which we can find all obsolete FM at single execution.
Thanks & Regards
Sandeep

Hello Sandeep,
I'm not sure if there's a standard report/program to list obsolete function modules, but you can manually check them in table RODIR (via SE16 transaction) - there's a flag properly called 'OBSOLETE'
FYI, table TFDIR contains the FMs that were released.
There are some notes which provid additional information on this topi:
#109533: Use of SAP function modules
#857904: Upgrade from Release 6.40 to 7.0 for customer programs
#595310: ws_filename_get function module is obsolete
Please be aware that those FMs are still there - all applications will have the old function modules installed for
backwards compatibility and legacy reasons. However if you are writing your own code, these function modules will still be available, but not supported by SAP Support.
I hope this information help you.
Best regards,
Tomas Black

Regarding Obsolete Function Modules

Hi all,
        can anybody tell me the alternative ECC6.0 function modules of the following Obsolete function modules

UPLOAD
WS_DOWNLOAD
WS_UPLOAD
WS_FILENAME_GET
WS_QUERY
POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_STEP

thnks

here are replacement function modules for the obsolete ones.
award points in case u feel this useful
1. Obsolete Function Module: WS_UPLOAD.
      Replacement FM: GUI_UPLOAD.
Note:
1. If the FM WS_UPLOAD' has file type as ASC, then we can use same file
    type ASC for GUI_UPLOAD also.
2. But if the FM 'WS_UPLOAD' has file type as DAT, we can not use DAT for
'GUI_UPLOAD' as it will give short dump.
    In this case we need use file type as ASC
      and
      HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = X.
3. If the file name or file type of ws_upload have variables or constants
    Instead of hard coding, then dont use hard code values for gui_upload.
3. The data type of file name always should be of character type for gui_upload
      The file type should be of Type Character and length 10.
4. Always uncomment the exceptions for gui_upload.
5. And also uncomment the code inside IF SY-SUBRC <> 0. and ENDIF after
      gui_upload if the customer has not handled any exception in 46c version.
      If there is any code inside IF SY-SUBRC <> 0 and ENDIF for ws_upload in 46c
      version, Please use the same code in ECC also after gui_upload.
Example:
   Example for File type ASC:
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'
      EXPORTING
           FILENAME                = P_FILE

Obsolete function module in ECC6 - what to use instead of that

I have to upgrade from SAP 4.7 to ECC6 .
Some obsolete function module are as follows:
ADDRESS_MAINTAIN
ADDRESS_UPDATE_OLD
DD_PR_REDEFINE
GRAPH_DIALOG
HELPSCREEN_NA_CREATE
Can anybody assist me which function module to use in place of this function module or which class methods to be used instead of these function modules ?
Thanks...

Hi Deepak,
For ADDRESS_MAINTAIN you can go this way for now.
DATA : func_name TYPE rs38l_fnam.
func_name = 'ADDRESS_MAINTAIN'. "To escape the EPC Check
    DO.
      CALL FUNCTION func_name
        EXPORTING
          adrswa_in         = sadr
          processing_status = mode
          kennzeichen       = kz
          save_intern       = 'X'
          title             = am_title
        IMPORTING
          adrswa_out        = sadr
          returncode        = return
          update_flag       = am_save
        EXCEPTIONS
          not_found         = 4.
we haven't found any replacement for this. so doing it this way.
ADDRESS_UPDATE_OLD - No Replacement for this.
DD_PR_REDEFINE - No Replacement for this.
GRAPH_DIALOG - No Replacement for this.
All the Above 3 FMs are still being used in ECC standard programs.
Thanks,
Sai

Obsolete Function Modules in ERP6.0

Hi Experts,
We are upgrading to ERP6.0 Unicode. We have lots of obsolete function modules (other than WS_UPLOAD/UPLOAD/WS_DOWNLOAD/DOWNLOAD). These are marked as obsolete by SAP. Now what will happen if we don't replace them with new function modules and continue with the existing ones? Will it create problems in the new system?

Replacements for obsolete function modules

What is the best way to find out the replacement for the obsolete function modules? We are starting an upgrade project and are required to replace the obsolete function modules used in that. So before starting that I want to keep a list of obsolete function modules and their replacements ready.
SS

Hi,
RODIR table gives not only FM, all obsoletes types.
if you dont find, best way is when we check EPC for the program,
in call function interface warnings shows, obsolete function modules.
or do UCCHECK it will both obsolete and suggested replacements.
Thanks

Upgrade: Finding ALL obsolete function modules in ECC6

Hello everyone,
Is there a way to find ALL obsolete function modules in ECC6?
I have seen a few web pages posting a small list of obsolete function modules but they are not complete.
I have also tried querying table TFTIT for short text such as 'OBSOLETE' and 'Do not use'. However, some obsolete function modules do not leave any clue in the description at all such as WWW_GET_MIME_OBJECT.
However, if you go to SE37 to view WWW_GET_MIME_OBJECT, you will notice that the SAP screen displays it as 'Function obsolete' under the General Data tab.
I have tried to debug the SE37 transaction to see which flag determines if a function is obsolete but I was not able to find it.
Any one has any ideas? Thanks a lot!

Hi Oscean,
Check table RODIR where objecttype = FUNC and Obsolete = X.
Thanks

Obsolete Function Module SYSTEM_FORMAT

Hi friends,
   I have a question regarding the function module SYSTEM_FORMAT. This function module has been marked as obsolete as of ECC 6.
   This function module has a parameter 'nform' which gives the system number format. SAP note suggests the usage of function module SCP_GET_CODEPAGE_NUMBER to the get the codepage. But there is no such suggestion for obtaining the number format.
   Can you tell me if there is corresponding function module which will give the system number format?
   Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Pradip

Regarding Obsolete function module

hi guys,
Can the Addon function module be obsolete?
I found the function module attributes having 'unreleased' attribute without any date.
if obsolete, any action is necessary. Please confirm
Thanks
Priyan

Obsolete does not equal "unreleased"... if you do an F1 on the "Not released" text in a function module attributes you can see a description of "Type of Function Module Release" ... marking the function module as obsolete is something that happens later in its lifecyle... you will find on the PF-STATUS for the function module the following options (under Function Module > Release):
Release
Internal Release
Cancel Release
Object Obsolete
