you need to copy all the related includes as well and then activate everything together

*******************************************************************

System-defined Include-files. *

*******************************************************************

INCLUDE LZDEXTOP. " Global Data

INCLUDE LZDEXUXX. " Function Modules

It's something to do with these 2 includes . The content inside them is almost blank as opposed to that of the bapi.

Can somebody please try this and tell me if they successful

did you try activating all the includes and the FM together....if not then try it...else first activate the includes and then the FM....if thre are no errors it will activate...

else you will need to resolve the syntax errors...may be some data declarations are missing.

Hi,

Even while copying Function group it does not copy the includes for subroutines.

You will have to create these manually in new function group and then do a copy paste of code .

You have to write the Top include ( Global data )

Thanks

The problem is i am unable to save this new function module in the function group of the BAPI so i saved it in my own function group. Hence all the functions which are present in the bapi function group are not included in my group.

I recon that the entire function group has to be copied and not individual function modules
