Function Modules

Former Member — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 13:32:32 GMT

Hi Experts,

I came to know that we have around 30,000 predefined function modules by SAP, please suggest where can I find them?

Is it possible t see their coding, so that we can select from them according to our needs?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Vivek,

Use Transaction Code SE37.. You can see the source code and test them as well..

Thanks Vasuki,

How can I search the Function Module which I need? For example I saw a FM calculate_ultimo which converts number to date format, but is there any kind of search mechanism available giving the actual need?

Hi Vivek,

in our ECC6 system we have 366.774 standard SAP function modules.

In your (I hope so) preferred development tool, the Object Navigator SE80, press the button Repository-Infosystem . In the Repository Information System tree, go to Program library. In Function Modules section, define some criteria for Function Module, Short Description, Function Group, Package or Application Component.

Try to make your criteria as narrow as possible to avoid too many hits and as wide as necessary to find what you need.

This may take some time. It is useful to click into some hits to check interface, coding or where-used-list to determine what may be useful.

In many cases it is faster to use google or SDN search to find the right function.

Regards,

Clemens

You can go to se37, type relevant name with wild char, say if you want any FM related to date, type * time * and you get FMs whcih have name 'time' in it.. You can google for more info..

Use the repository search as Clemens Li suggests. You can also access this by going to SE37 and clicking on the FIND button. Here you can enter all sorts of search criteria. There are minimal search fields, but you can get more by clicking on the more selections button.
