create/copy existing FM

Former Member — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:42:32 GMT

Hi,

I have problems when I want to copy a simple FM.

The copied FM can't be activated. The error mesage appears REPORT/PROGRAM statement missing, or program type is INCLUDE.

What is the problem.

The source FM works fine....

Thanks in advance

This usually appears when syntax checking the code of an include. Try activating it directly.

hi,

to copy a standard FM either you have to copy it in the same function group or copy all the declarations required into this copied FM or else it will give you an error.

CTRL-F3 (activate button) instead of first pressing CTRL-F2 (syntax check button). It could also be a problem of an incomplete copy process, as mentioned in the other reply.

aha now I understend, but how I can find "all the declarations required"... Yes, i would like to copy an Z* FM, and chnge it, but it is true, it will be included in other function group.
