Function Modules: maximum number of parameters ?

Former Member — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:11:39 GMT

Q: Is there a limit of maximum number of parameters existing, while calling a function module.

I didn't find a hint in the ABAP-Documentation.

We have a function module, with 120 parameters and this should be enlarged by about 25 new parameters.

Can this cause a problem ?

Hello

No problem.

But I recommend to unite all parameter into structure and pass table into FM instead of enumerate all parameters.

It will simplify your code.

hi,

why do you want to go for such an approach?

instead create a Table Type in the Data dictionary and create fields in it. Populate this Table type in your program and pass it to the FM.

doesnt it sounds a neat way of development??

ags.

85 of these 120 parameters are already TABLES .

Probably you can unite all these tables into a single table and pass it to the FM
