1.To copy a fm

Create function group with $tmp dev class.

now copy the fm to anothother fm and assign to ur function group.

this will give u a lot of error as top include is not copied

so also copy the top include to ur top include.

Also u can go for coping the whole function group if not too big.

Hi Yogesh,

Goto SE37->give one Fm name which you want to copy and then click on copy(ctrl+F5) and then give the function module name that you want to create and start doing the changes and test.

Cheers!!

if your original Function group belongs to a development package, it is not possible to copy the Function Module into the same group w/o specifying a transprot request.If you dotn want to specify a transprot request you need to create a new FUnction Group as Local object first.

Hi Yogesh,

If you copy the Function Group and acop the FM and assigned all FM to the copied FG.

You can create a Transport Request for the FG. Once your analysis finishes you can delete the same copied Function Group and assign it to the Same transport request.

Now delete the Transport Request in Developement server.

Hope I could understand you....

Thanks,
