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 *

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.

Regards,

Pramod

Hi.. For most of the function modules FUNCTION MODULE DOCUMENTATION is availble in SAP. You can see the function module documentaion to know the functionality and the parameters of the function module. Ex: Check for REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY And the search for the function module can be done in some of following ways. 1. Search with the related word like above friends mentioned. 2. Or you can go to SE15-> Function modules, where you can get function odules name if you know any following inforamation of that function module, Function Module Short Description Function Group Package Application Component 3. And open the following link for some very use ful function modules. Link: [Function modules list|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/ABAPFunctionModules] Thanks, Naveen.I
