Find the function module from a screen

Former Member — Thu, 27 Aug 2020 11:41:48 GMT

Hello,
I am new to SAP, im trying to retrieve data from a screen to VS, for example CIC0 want the customer number..
but i cant find the name of the function from the screen it self! if i go to technical help i find few information like program name.

But its not like when you open from /nse37 so you can see the input output ...etc

there is away to find it from the screen itself (I find it very hard to get the right function in /nse37)

You have several solutions to help you find the right objects. Either search the Web, or search among the BAPI function modules, or do an SQL trace to search the tables containing the data.

You say "retrieve data from a screen to VS". Do you mean you have a program in a non-SAP programming language, and you want to call a RFC-enabled function module of SAP backend?

Yes, SAP connectors use the RFC protocol. Maybe there are some CRM_ORDER* function modules to read data corresponding to CIC0. Another solution is to identify what table contains the field you want, with the SQL trace, and from there it could be easier to ask. Maybe you could edit your question to define CRM as primary tag to get more visibility.
