[ABAP] Read Function Group SE80 from an ABAP code

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to read simply all components included in a Function Group from a specific ABAP code.

Is there a MF to perform that?

thank you very much.

Depending on what you mean with "components". All function modules?

DATA:

function_modules type standard table of tfdir-funcname,

pname type syrepid value '.....' "type in your main program name / function group

SELECT funcname

INTO TABLE function_modules FROM TFDIR

WHERE pname eq main_program.

Hi Rachid

You can pass function group name to the FM FUNCTION_SELECT_TFDIR, it will provide you the list of function modules in given function group.

That means: It does the same as my SELECT statement

[Former Member]

yes it's same .

Well, let's decide the questioner, who wins the medal "correct answer" (just kidding)

Hi guys!

Thank you all.

In fact, I need all components included in my Function Group:

That includes mainly:

• Function Modules (thanks for that point)
• Dictionary Structures
• Type Groups
• Types
• Fields
• Subroutines
• Includes

Cheers,

Rachid.

Oh, this is a problem. A DDIC-Structure is not a component of a function module or function group, it's just included in it's where-used-list.

Perhaps you should tell us, what exactly you want to do with that list of "components"

Hi Ralf,

basically, we have a Function Group developed in a customer XYZ in 2012 and we want today, to migrate all this function group into another environment.

That must include necessary all the components (program, transaction, ddic (table, struct), MF etc..) of the Function group.

Have you got any advice?

Rachid.

At first, you have to check if this migration causes any naming conflicts.

If not, you need to create a transport request, including all regarding objects. You can do that with an ABAP or manually in SE10. In most cases, the effort to do that with an ABAP is higher than doing that manually. This avoid inconsistencies in this transport request (it's difficult, to create a consistent transport request with an ABAP).

Finally, you have to release and import that transport request into your target system.

There are couple of ways to do it.

1. Download everything using ABAP Download Program available on SAP LINK

2. Use How to copy Repository Objects between non-connected SAP systems - ABAP Development - SCN Wiki

Thats basically creating a transport for all the objects and importing it across.

3. Goto the package view and manually create the listed objects.

Hi,

yes, but it is time-consuming to do that in the case of more that 50 function group. That's why, we would like to create a program to perform this need automatically.

I created transport requests with more than 50 items within an hour......
