Check what sap documentation says:

Flags the function module func for execution in the update task. It is not executed at once, but the data passed with EXPORTING or TABLES is placed in a database table and a subsequent COMMIT WORK then causes the function module to be executed by the update task. Update function modules must be flagged as such in the Function Builder

The return value is not set.

Regards,

ravi

Hi,

The update function module is for execution in update task.

It is not executed immediatley..It will be triggered when a subsequent commit work is executed..

If it fails..You can use SM13 to view the update terminations..

difference..You cannot call normal function module IN UPDATE TASK...The update modules is not remotely callable..

Thanks
