Hi,

Function group is the one which holds all the function modules belongs to that function group.

When ever u create a FM in function group an include statement will be written in the include FgnameUXX.(Created by default)

Even it hold the global data as well in top included. When ever we execute any FM in this group whole function group will be loaded to BAP memory.

Function pool is analogous to REPORT statement of a report.

Check F1 help for more details.(Place the cursor on Function-pool statement and press F1:-)

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hi KSS,

Function Group is a collection of Function Modules.

Any Function Module is related with any Function Group.

We are not using Fun.Group in coding.Only Fun. Module is used.

You can create Fun. Module by using SE37 T-code & for creating Fun Group.Just go to SE37-go to->Fun.Group->Create Group.

You can change Fun.Group assigned to any fun.module
