hello experts,

I had a RFC ,but I deleted it by accident,it then references some structure,and i deleted FM group.

When I delete structure, the structure is can't deleted,because it was used FM Program。

so, how do I remove these structures？

Hello Wei,

Even though you deleted the function module(s) and the Function Group sometimes the Function Group's main program still not deleted and still is accessible. So check with SE38 if SAPL<FunctionGroupName> program exists; if it does exists then display it and make sure it doesn't reference any other Function Modules (you can double click on include names) then I'd say you can find how the structures are used in the Function Group program (probably there is a data variable definitions exist) so you can delete these variables; meaning later you can delete the structures. You can consider deleting SAPL<FunctionGroupName> as long as there is no other function modules in it.

If these all don't make sense please give more details (like object names) that would be helpful for the context.

Thanks,
Tuncay

Wei, that's interesting!

Probably the navigation index should be updated. So you can consider to run these programs: SAPRSEUI or SAPRSEUT or SAPRSLOG

Running the programs must help "Where-Used List" giving correct & updated results.

Reference: Transaction for mass updating of navigation index

Thanks,
