Following a smartform tutorial, but getting the error that SFF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME isn't there.

Hi all,

I'm following this tutorial to try and become familiar with smartforms. I feel like I've followed all the steps exactly as describe, but when I execute the driver program for the smartform, I get this error:

"An attempt was made to call function module "SFF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME".
This cannot be found in the library though."

I don't think the code is necessary here but I'll paste it anyway just in case. This is the code for the driver program that should eventually activate the smartform:

REPORT Z_XPTRAINING_RDD_DRIVER. DATA: FM_SFORM TYPE RS38L_FNAM. TABLES: mara. * marc, mard, makt. *DATA: begin of it_mara occurs 0, * matnr like mara-matnr, * ersda type mara-ersda, * ernam type mara-ernam, * mtart type mara-mtart, * end of it_mara. data: it_mara type standard table of mara with header line. parameters: p_matnr like mara_matnr. select single matnr ersda ernam mtart from mara into corresponding fields of it_mara where matnr = p_matnr. * Now call function: SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME * IN FORMNAMEL parameter pass the smartform name. * FM_NAME: PARAMETER PASS THE FUNCTIONMODULE VARIABLE WHICH IS * declared* over the program. * CALL FUNCTION 'SFF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' EXPORTING FORMNAME = 'ZTEST_RDC' * VARIANT = ' ' * DIRECT_CALL = ' ' IMPORTING F_NAME = FM_SFORM * EXCEPTIONS * NO_FORM = 1 * NO FUNCTION_MODULE = 2 * OTHERS = 3 .

IF sy-subrc <> 0. * Implement suitable error handling here ENDIF.

On the internet I did see some people talking about the function module, but those posts were from 2010. Does the function module just not exist anymore? And if so, does anyone know of a replacement I could use?

Thank you very much in advance!

Is not it SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME ?
