First of all, STOP with Function Module, it is outdated, now there is Object

Second point, why do you need FM or anything else for thing so simple ?

FORMs are obsolete. Function Modules aren't. Although classes are better.

In standard SAP there isn't one to my knowledge. Nor a class method.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but if not, the programming required isn't hard. You could write a blog about your experiences, together with the source code for others to use.

OK, fair enough.

Not released and only an ERP FM - not available for example on a BW system. Funnily enough though it uses FM in group STS2 which is a part of the standard ABAP stack.
