Replacement for a Function module

Hi all,
There is a function module 'HELP_VALUES_GET_NO_DD_NAME' to display possible values for a database field. This FM is getting obsolete in near future.
Does anyone know any replacement provided by SAP for this FM?

Hi,
replaced with the FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.
check this thread
Re: F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST
sample code.
tables: mara, makt.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
matnr like mara-matnr,
end of itab.
data : begin of btab occurs 0,
maktx like makt-maktx,
end of btab.
data mak like makt-maktx.
DATA : return like ddshretval occurs 0 with header line.
data: begin of dynpfields occurs 0.
include structure dynpread.
data: end of dynpfields.
parameters: p_matnr like mara-matnr,
p_maktx like makt-maktx.
Initialization.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_matnr.
REFRESH ITAB.

How to check for a function module with its description and functionality

Hi all,
How to check for a function module,with its description and its functionality,in detail how can I know the purpose of a particular function module,how to search for a function module which suits my requirement .

Hi,
You can search a FM of your requirement by putting in the Key words and searching for a FM. Like * KEYWORD * and then pressing F4.
Say for example you need to search something regarding converstion.
Search for * CONVERT * and press F4.
If there is something specfic like converting date to something you can give
DATE * CONVERT *
OR
CONVERT * DATE * and press F4.
Once you narrow down your search you will have a Function module documentation inside the Function module. Please note that all the FMs willl not have documentation.

Test web service for a function module

I have created web service for a functiona module. I can see the same service in SE80 in Enterprise Services.
How do I test this service?
I can see the URL in WSDL tab but when I try to execute it give me following error,
What has happened?
URL http://emhbssap15.domain.local:8027/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/sdef_service_name/wsdl11/ws_policy/document call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.

The termination occurred in system BDV with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.

Thanks Venu for your input.
Unfortunetly we do not have Java stack on our development system. You said we can test it by SOAP UI tool. Where do I see the WSDL file for the service?
I used WSDL from SE80 --> Service --> WSDL tab, but SOAP UI does not accept this format ?
What are the other ways I can test this web service? I think about SAP PI, importing RFC & creating web service or creating ABAP proxies... Which is the best way to go forward in case you do not have Java stck.

Search for a function module for deleting document originals (DMS)

Hi,
I'm searching for a function module to delete originals in documents (like manually with transaction cv02n). I'm only able to set an delete mark with the module 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_DELETE'.
The module 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2' can only add new originals to an existing document. I need a possibility to delete all originals in an document without deleting the document itself.
Has anyone an idea?
Thanks.
Jan-Christian Treusch

Many thanks!
That's especially the method I've searched for so long....
best regards.

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
Edited by: harshit rungta on May 27, 2011 8:15 AM

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

Creating a Structure for BAPI Function Module

Hi,
I need to create an RFC for a BAPI call. For that I have to create a structure for the function module. Now, do I need to specify both import and export parameters in the same structure or do I need to create two different structures for Import as well as export parameters? If the import and export parameters are specified aleady, Do I need to supply this structures again under "TABLES"?
Thanks,

How to find suitable( existing) function group for a Function Module ?

How to find suitable( existing) function group for a Function Module to be created?
This is FM for converting amounts to text.

Hi,
If you are not sure into which Function group your FM should go in then its advised to create a Function group of your own. Its not advised to create a function module in any other function group unless its owned by you since your FM can get deleted by others or it can get changed.
Create your own Function group. But if you want to create in an existing FG then best way is to find out the Function Group by searching for suitable existing Function module then see their function group

How to schedule a background jobs for a function module

HI all,
I have created a function module (zrfc_test). Now I need to schedule it daily around 8am . the 2 tcodes used is sm36 & sm37. But I need a detail description for a function module.
Points will be rewarded
thanks in advance

As there is no direct way of scheduling a function module, you may write a online program (program type 1) and call this function module in side it and schedule the program using SM36. Or you may record a CATT procedure for the function module and schedule it using SCAT transaction.Hope this helps
