The function group is the the element groupping all elements need to create and manage the fms: includes, screen etc. etc....

When Zfg is created, the system generates the main program SAPLZ.....

Yes you're right, if you call a fm, whole function group is loaded, in this way all fms of the same function group see the global data of fg.

Hi,

Function group is used for grouping the function modules...The contents will be INCLUDES, SCREENS, Function modules..

The whole function group is loaded when you call a function module..

Goto SE80 and select the Function group dropdown and give the FG name and Press enter. It will list all the FM under that FG.

Hi,

The Function Builder administers function modules that logically belong together in function groups. Function groups are containers for function modules. They can also contain global data declarations and subroutines that are available to all of the function modules in the group.

For each function group <fgrp> there is a main program, generated by the system, called SAPL<fgrp>.

The main program contains INCLUDE statements for the following programs:

L<fgrp>TOP. This contains the global data for the function group.

L<fgrp>UXX. These includes contain the function modules themselves. The numbering XX indicates the chronological order in which the function modules were created. This includes L<fgrp>U01 and L<fgrp>U02 contain the first two function modules in the function group.

L<fgrp>F01, L<fgrp>F02... These includes can be used to write subroutines (forms) that can be called as internal forms by all function modules in the group.

If we call a FM then are all the FM's beeloonging to the grp will be loaded .

Mark all help ful answers.

Thanks

Hi ,

NO we cannot have a FM without function group . Try creating a new FM and it will ask for function group, without which you will not be able to create one .

HI,

<b>Use of Function Groups</b>

We group function modules in to function groups.

The main advantage of grouping function modules into function groups is that, global data of a group can be shared by all function modules in that group.
