Error while creating Function Model in Sap Abap.

Hi,

I try to create simple function model but I have this error which says " the statement "function" is not allowed in the current environment. However, the similar statement "function-ball" is allowed"

Hi Shakir,

To resolve the error, you can create a function pool by following these steps:

Open the ABAP Editor (SE38) and create a new program.
In the "Attributes" tab of the program, set the "Type" to "Function pool".
Save and activate the program.
In the editor, use the "FUNCTION" statement to define your function module.

Here's an example of how to define a simple function module in a function pool:

FUNCTION ZMH_FM_AGETEST.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Local interface:
*"  TABLES
*"      ET_EMPLOYEES STRUCTURE  ZMH_SOPRAA
*"  IMPORTING
*"     MIN_AGE TYPE I
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
  SELECT *
    FROM zmh_sopraa
    INTO TABLE et_employees
    WHERE age GT min_age.
ENDFUNCTION.

Note that in the correct syntax, you need to define the input/output parameters of the function module in the local interface section. Additionally, the table parameter ET_EMPLOYEES should be defined using the keyword TABLES.
Regards

Typo: it's function MODULE.

Activate all the includes of the function group at the same time.

Hi Babar,

I have already function group "function pool" created and when I have created the function module , I put it in the function group , which I have created.

And with SE38 when I set the "Type" to "Function pool" is not allowed !!!

Go to SE37. Enter the name you want for your function module. Click on "CREATE".

In Eclipse, go to File->New and choose function module.

You use SE37 to create a FM. Not SE38.

Typo: it's function MODULE, not function MODEL.
