Nick Young had suggested a way to find the answer , even after that if you people keep posting answers, people will forget about searching and you will find the same question repeated many times here. (of course everytime with copy/paste from help.sap.com and sometimes even misleading/wrong answers). Please stop this.

i am deleting all the answers in this post. let the user search the forum.

Manik,

you might want to have another look at FM and subroutines, because I don't think I agree with all your statements, for example:

1. Sub routines doesn't return any values.

Why wouldn't a subroutine return a value? As a matter effect, a subroutine SHOULD often return a value!!!!

Nick,

Seems you are right, but where are they getting this stuff from???

I searched on help.sap.com and help functions via ABAP editor, but I can't find anything like it.

But unfortenately I have seen this behavior before....too bad.

Regards,

Nick.

Hi,

I think you should search first like this simple question on this forum, if you not satisfie then post the thread.Its the way to find the solution of our question.

And second thing, after posting the thread and got satisfie then you should close the thread...

and the correct answer actually is:

it does not matter, we're supposed to use methods anyway

Fn Modules can be called in any program .

Sub routines can also be called but the program needs to be called vai submit option .

Fn modules are executed outside the program area , but subroutines are exectued inside the program .

U can maintain the exceptions separately but subroutines u need to hard code and i dont think the same exceptions are possible for all the programs calling them .
