Error when trying to test from FM

[Former Member]

Hi,

I created a FM from SE37 and tried to test it by clicking on the test icon, and I got an error "<b>Error generating the test frame</b>".

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks.

Make sure that your FM is activated.The test frame will get generated then.

Hi,

Did you activate the includes in the main Program.

Just goto the menu option goto->main program and activate the includes if not activated. And try to execute the same.

Hi Rob

Try to call the FM from your program instead of testing from Se37. It will work fine.

Save the FM and make sure that the FM is active.

Hi,

Hi,

There is no Problem with the FM, the FM is fine. <b>"Error generating the test frame".</b> is familar one. and Try to call the FM in the Program and test. i think you are trying it Directly from SE37.

Have a try from the Program it works fine.

There are Fm's like below

<b>TEXT_CONVERT_XML_TO_SAP

SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT</b>

when you try to Run or test it from SE37 that will give the Message <b>Error generating the test frame</b>. but if you run it in SE38 program it will work.

Hi All,

I tried to activate all objects for the FM and still it is giving the same error. I also tried to run the test from SE37 initial screen and also from the main program.

All suggestions seemed to be the workaround. I should really be clicking on the tool icon to test from SE37 or from the main program from SE37

Any other ideas. I may have to ask basis for help.

Thanks

It is most probably related to your import/changing/tables parameters. If the test tool cannot generate the interface based on your function module parameters, it will throw this error. Basis cannot help you with this. Can you please post your function module interface definition here?

As Vijay suggested, if this is the reason, the only way you can test it is writing a small program.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. The interface...

*"----

""Local Interface:

*" IMPORTING

*" REFERENCE(I_AREA) TYPE UPC_Y_AREA

*" REFERENCE(I_PLEVEL) TYPE UPC_Y_PLEVEL

*" REFERENCE(I_METHOD) TYPE UPC_Y_METHOD

This is actually for BW. I think I didn't mention this.

Anyway, is there another way to trace this besides the tool icon and the debugger?

Thanks,

I cannot help there(BW!!) as I cannot tell if any of these types is the culprit here. Unfortunately, there is no other way to test it either.

[Former Member]

I am staring at it and I think it is the changing parameter that is a hashed table that is the problem here. Test tool cannot generate the interface for such types.

[Former Member]

Thank you to everyone for your encouragement. You always seem to say the nicest things to help, and that's rare to find people like you.

I will try another solution and may not use the hash table.

Thanks again.
