Regarding Function module: function module change numeric to text

Hi ,
can any help me what is the function module used for : function module change numeric to text
suppose:
if i give :
Input: 11/12/2007
Output: 11 December 2007
What is the FM used for same?
Plz help me out

I'm not sure if there is a FM that will directly change Your date to the right format but You can write simple code to do this:
DATA: lv_subrc LIKE sy-subrc,
      lt_month TYPE TABLE OF t247,
      ls_month TYPE t247,
      lv_odate TYPE string,
      lv_ndate TYPE string,
      lv_char1 TYPE char1.
lv_odate = '11/12/2007'.
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
EXPORTING
    language              = sy-langu
IMPORTING
    return_code           = lv_subrc
TABLES
    month_names           = lt_month
EXCEPTIONS
    month_names_not_found = 1
    OTHERS                = 2.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
LOOP AT lt_month INTO ls_month WHERE mnr = lv_odate+3(2).
    CONCATENATE lv_odate(2) ls_month-ltx lv_odate+6(4) INTO lv_ndate SEPARATED BY lv_char1.
ENDLOOP.
ELSE.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

Regarding the Remote Function Module

hi,
Can any body can provide the brief information regarding the Remote Function Module.
1)How to create the remote function module
2)how it differ from the normal function module
3)any special features about this.
Thanks in advance

Hi
RFC (Remote Function Call) is similar to the general SAP fun module: except that in the attributes you click the radio button: RFC enabled;
and you will be passing an Import parameter DESTINATION to it.
Other code and usage will be similar to any fun module;
Have a look at any fun module in SE37 to understand better about the different components of Fun modules;
Refer this link:

Function Modules;
Check this matter.
Function Modules are Global ABAP programs created by SAP for reusable purpose.they have IMPORT,EXPORT and TABLE parameters, and EXCEPTIONS to through when error occurs.
You can create them from TCode SE37.
Go through the following doc:
Function modules are cross-program, reusable procedures that are organized into function groups, and whose functions are implemented between the statements FUNCTION and ENDFUNCTION. Function modules and their interfaces are created in the Function Builder.
Function Module Interfaces
The parameter interface of a function module is defined in the Function Builder. It includes the definition of interface parameters and the specification of exceptions that can be triggered by a function module. The Function Builder automatically generates comment lines below the FUNCTION statement in the source code of the function module, which represent the interface of the function module with the following syntax:
Syntax
... [IMPORTING parameters]
[EXPORTING parameters]
[CHANGING parameters]
[TABLES table_parameters]
[{RAISING|EXCEPTIONS} exc1 exc2 ...]
The syntax and semantics of IMPORTING, EXPORTING, CHANGING, RAISING, and EXCEPTIONS mainly correspond to the definition of method interfaces with [CLASS-]METHODS. The additional option of defining table parameters using TABLES is obsolete.
Interface parameters
The interface parameters are defined on the relevant tab pages in the Function Builder.
IMPORTING parameters are input parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter must be specified for every non-optional input parameter. The content of the actual parameter is passed to the input parameter when the call is made. The content of an input parameter for which 'pass by reference' is defined cannot be changed in the function module.
EXPORTING parameters are output parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter can be specified for every output parameter. The content of an output parameter that is defined for 'pass by value' is transferred to the actual parameter if the function module is completed without errors. An output parameter that is defined for pass by reference is not initialized when the function module is called.
CHANGING parameters are input and output parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter must be specified for every non-optional input or output parameter. When the function module is called, the content of the actual parameter is passed to the input/output parameter, and when the function module is completed, the content of the input/output parameter is passed to the actual parameter.
TABLES parameters are table parameters. Table parameters are obsolete CHANGING parameters that are typed as standard tables with a header line. If an internal table without a header line or a table body is passed as an actual parameter to a formal parameter of this type, an empty local header line is generated in the function module. If an internal table with a header line is used as an actual parameter, both the table body and the header line are passed to the function module. Pass by value is not possible in formal parameters defined using TABLES. Formal parameters defined with TABLES can be replaced by formal parameters defined with CHANGING. A local work area can be created for the internal table in the function module by using the addition LIKE LINE OF itab of the DATA statement.
Exceptions
The exception of a function module are defined on the Exceptions tab page in the Function Builder. Here you can select exception classes to define whether class-based exceptions are declared or non-class-based exception are defined. Class-based exceptions are represented in the above syntax by RAISING, and non-class-based exceptions are represented by EXCEPTIONS.
The addition RAISING is used to declare class-based exceptions that can be propagated from the function module to the caller. Exceptions in the categories CX_STATIC_CHECK and CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK must be explicitly declared, otherwise a propagation can lead to an interface violation. A violation of the interface leads to the treatable exception CX_SY_NO_HANDLER. Exceptions of the category CX_NO_CHECK are implicitly always declared. The declaration of exceptions of the category CX_STATIC_CHECK is statically checked in the syntax check. For exceptions of the category CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK, the check is not performed until runtime. In a function module in which class-based exceptions are declared with the RAISING addition, the statement CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS cannot be used. Instead, the relevant treatable exceptions should be handled in a TRY control structure.
The addition EXCEPTIONS is used to define a list of non-class-based exceptions that can be triggered in the function module using the statements RAISE or MESSAGE RAISING. Exceptions defined in this way - as with formal parameters - are bound to the function module and cannot be propagated. If an exception of this type is triggered in a function module, and no return value has been assigned to it with the homonymous addition EXCEPTIONS of the CALL FUNCTION statement when the call was made, this leads to a runtime error.
Note
For new developments after release 6.10, SAP recommends that you work with class-based exceptions that are independent of the function module.
RFC is a technology which is used to access a functions (Modules) from
the remote systems.
If a function module is set as remote enabled which can be access from
the remote system via RFC.Eg: U can access the Remote enabled function modules in ur VB,Webdynpro,Java,Visual composer program.
A function module can be set as remote enabled by SE37->Go to ur FM->click the option Button "remote enabled".
But Normal function modules can not accessd from the remote system.
Good Example for RFC enabled function module is : BAPI(Business Application Programming Interface)
Note: All BAPIs are Remote enabled but not all remote enabled function modules are BAPI.
CALLING A FUNCTION MODULE:
1)In U ABAP Editor --> Click "Patter" ---> Selection Option Button "Call Function"
--> Write the Corresponding FM name --> Hit Enter
2)The appropriate import ,export Parameters will be displayed in ur editor
3)Pass the Values Here.

Function Module/Document to change Reversal date for FI document.

Can anyone please provide me with the Function Module/Document to change Reversal date for FI document.

Hi Vikram,
Normally, you post a reversing document in the same period you posted the original document. The period of the original document must be open to post a reversing document. If the period is not open, you can overwrite the posting date field with a date in an open period, such as the current period.

Transporting Function Module & Function group

Hello All,
I want some clarification in transporting a FM, FG, Extract Structure.
First I collected Function Group in a Transport Request (R3TRFUGR********) and collected Function Module in the same request and also the extract structure.
This Function Group have only one Function Module and 4 Includes (LRSALK01, LRSAXD01, LZ_BI_DS_DATATOP, LZ_BI_DS_DATAUXX, RSAUMAC).
Do I need to collect these includes separately in the same request or is it enough if i collect only function group and function module and move the request.
Please let me know.
Thank you.

Hi Saptrain,
the best is always to let the system handle it: As soon as you assign an object (function group, function module, include or whatever) to a package, it will ask for a transport. Create the transport and the transport management system will include in the transport what has to be transported.
As far as I know (but I never have the question), a function group (R3TR FUGR) will transport everything that is in the function group: All functions, all modules, all includes, screens, texts, status and...I think even test cases
You will find FUGR in the transport after creating the function group.
If you change something after releasing the transport, it will transport only the changed objects (i.e. includes)

Clemens

Problem to print Purchase Order created in RFC module function

Hi
I created a specific RFC function module for using in a BSP application. In this specific function module, I have created a Purchase Order (PO) thanks to the standard module "BAPI_PO_CREATE". The PO is well created but I don't manage to print immediately this PO but the spool is queued. Whereas using SE37, the PO is well created and printed.
But the customer wants to find the PO immediately in the printer
Do you know a simply way to solve my problem? I have the feeling that something is lost using RFC module function and the standard module function.
Thank a lot of for your reply
Regards
Francois

The issue may be because, its used in BSP application.
may be you need to implement whats explained in this weblog.

Module Function Name Resolution - Issues with DefaultCommandPrefix

Just getting started on module development, running PS4, and I've run into an... inconsistency... that I'm trying to understand. I've got two test functions, Get-Something and Set-Something in a script module. In my manifest file I specify a DefaultCommandPrefix
of 'Test'.
My issue is the function name resolution doesn't result in an executable result if you leave PowerShell up to it's own process.
To begin with I closed all sessions and deleted all files in the CommandAnalysis directory. After starting a session I waited for the CommandAnalysis cache to populate. Then I ran a series of test commands to illustrate how, most of the time, the function
name PowerShell registers with tab completion can't be executed because it lacks the 'Test' prefix. Even worse, much of the time tab completion won't recognize the correct (i.e., with prefix) name of the function and honor tab completion for it.
Having just learned of the CommandAnalysis cache I assumed I would see it change as PowerShell 'learned' more about the module because the name resolves differently over time. I've included three files at the end of this post, the module code (ModuleTest.psm1),
the manifest (ModuleTest.psd1) and the capture of output to the PowerShell session (ModuleTest.txt). I've tried to include the times I used <tab> and <ret> for tab completion and execution as well as (comments in parenthesis for things I did like
starting a new session and checking the CommandAnalysis cache for changes).
An example is, when first starting a session typing 'get-som<tab>' will resolve to 'Get-Something' (prefix 'Test' missing) and typing 'get-test<tab>' won't resolve to 'Get-TestSomething'. Try to execute the 'Get-Something' from tab completion
and you'll get the 'name not recognized, blah, blah'.
Now if you type 'get-som<tab>' PowerShell will resolve to 'ModuleTest\Get-Something' - looks promising... but no. Try to execute the 'ModuleTest\Get-Something' from tab completion and you'll still get the 'name not recognized, blah, blah'.
Even though the same key strokes resolved differently there were no changes made to the CommandAnalysis cache so I'm lost on why it produces two different (though equally useless) results.
Manually importing the module and sometimes running Get-Command -Module ModuleTest will make tab completion of the function names behave correctly. Is this a known issue with using DefaultCommandPrefix in script modules or is there something I need to include
in the manifest to enforce strict name recognition (including the prefix)?

Hi William,
yes, that's something you'll either have to do the hard way or live with admin confusion.
If you're using Sapien's PowerShell Studio as an Editor (hint: Usually a great idea), you can very easily rename a function, even in a multi-file module project, by rightcklicking on the function-name and selecting "rename".
Alternatively you can do a bulk rename with Powershell:
Get all functions in your module (Load it and check exportedcommands)
loop over each function-name
calculate new name
search your entire project for all references and replace them.
Let me see ...
function Rename-ModulePrefix
[CmdletBinding()]
Param (
[Parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$ModuleName,
[Parameter(Position = 1, Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$OldPrefix,
[Parameter(Position = 2, Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$NewPrefix,
[Parameter(Position = 3)]
[string]
$Path
# Catch all typos
Import-Module $ModuleName -ErrorAction 'Stop'
# Get root path if not manually passed
if (-not $PSBoundParameters["Path"])
$Path = (Get-Module $ModuleName).Path
# Get module files
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse -Include "*.ps1", "*.psm1", "*.psd1"
# Iterate over each file
foreach ($file in $Files)
# Null variable in case you get an empty file somewhere and run this from Win 7
$data = $null
# Get Content of file
$data = Get-Content $file
# Replace strings
foreach ($c in (Get-Module $ModuleName).ExportedCommands)
$newName = $c.Name -replace $OldPrefix, $NewPrefix
$data = $data | ForEach-Object { $_ -replace $c.Name, $newName }
# Write back to file
$data | Set-Content $file
While I didn't proof it, in theory this should do it (Make a backup before running it :) ).
Cheers,
Fred

PS Module: Function to Copy Standard Network

Hi,
Anybody knows of a function where I can copy values of a standard network in Project Systems module?

I'm not a ABAPer but I'll suggest you to debug the program SAPLCOKO and look at the functional modules (Function groups) that are involved.
Mentioned program belongs to Transaction CN41 -Create Network where you can create a network copying a standard network.
Hope this helps!

ABAP Unit for Function Module(Function Group)

Hi, Gurus:
Can we use ABAP Unit to test Function Module(Function Group).
If can, give me a simple example. how to create methods. Thanks.
Regards,

I'm a little unclear about your question, Yunfa.
Do you want to single-test a SE37 function-module? This can be easily done, just hit the F8 button, and it takes you to a single-test environment.
Do you want to test an FM using an ABAP-program? This too is easy to do. To code the FM-call, there's a button called Pattern, in the standard SE38 screen, where you can put in your FM name, and it inserts the relevant code in your program.
Note that if you're testing BAPIs using the single-test environment, the actual document posting will not happen, because that requires a BAPI_COMMIT_WORK call. So, the way to test BAPIs which post documents would be to write an SE38 program, which also calls the commit-bapi.
Hope this answers your question!

Call of a query bex from a module function BW

Hi,
I have to perform call of a query BEX from a BW module function
Is there a way to perform this call ?
Thanks

its possible, but what are you going to do with the result
options: 1. use FM RRW3_WEBRFC
this will return results in HTML format
option: 2 use my custom FM which will return results in xml format
/people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2005/12/05/execute-bw-query-using-abap-part-iii
option 3: use FM RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA
you have to handle the return data to get it in two dimensional format

Calling fortran module functions from c++

I am compiling a Fortran module with the Sun Studio Fortran compiler. The functions from this module shall be called from a C++ program. I have a name mangling problem when trying to compile or link. Actually it seems that Fortran provides names like 'module.function_' as can be seen when using nm. Putting this definition into the extern "C" statement makes the C compiler stop. After some excessive googling I found the possible bind(C) function, but this is actually not a valid option since I have not written the Fortran module myself and the solution should be somewhat compatible to other x86 compilers (here: Intel, which works fine for the name mangling)
What is now the best option to use the Fortran module in the C++ program using Sun Studio?
Cheers,
Sebastian
Sun Fire E6900
Sun Studio 12.1

Sebastianm
You do not have to change the calls; you only have to change the declarations of the function in the module to add bind(c,name="whatever). In addition, you will need to recompile the rest of the Fortran code that uses the module so that
the new bind(C) names are used in calls.
Adding a call to the module function for the above example:
subroutine use_example
use example
call print_hello()
end subroutine use_example
% f90 -fast -c use_example.f
% nm -og use_example.o
use_example.o:
[Index] Value Size Type Bind Other Shndx Name
[24] |000000000000|000000000000|FUNC |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |Example_print_hello
[23] |000000000000|000000000013|FUNC |GLOB |0 |2 |use_example_
As you can see, the compiler generates a call to Example_print_hello for the call to the module function print_hello,
as this is the name specified in the bind(c) for example.print_hello, i.e., bind(C, "Example_print_hello").
If you do not want to change the module at all, you might have some luck with *elfedit* to change the external
names after the .o is produced. I suspect that doing this is as much work as adding BIND(C) to the declarations.
Good luck and please let me know if this works for you.

Globale interface in module function

hi
please ,
I like to see in source code before importing parametrs the sentance " globale interface" in source code of Module function , instead of 'local interface'.
have you ever seen that?
like this.
FUNCTION Z_SPLIT_LONG_TEXT.
***""Globale interface:***
*" IMPORTING
*" VALUE(LIMIET) LIKE ZSPLIT-LIMIET
*" TABLES
*" TE_SPLITSEN STRUCTURE TLINE
*" GESPLITST STRUCTURE ZSPLIT

Yes, of course. Most of you have used function modules, and know that alot of times, you will have separate includes for your FORM routines. Well, if the interface is local, then your FORM routines will not have access to these parameters, you would need to pass these parameters using FORM parameters. If you would set the parameters as global, then they are visible to any/all FORM routines that you declare within the function group. If you think about it, it really is not a good practice to globalize your parameters( good design calls for keeping things as local as possible ), which is why this feature has bee deemed obselete.
