function module arguments, tables and changing..

[Former Member]

hi,

If I am right, in ECC 6.0 tables parameter is obsolete. So all the tables need to be defined in changing tab and when function is called it should be passed as changing parameters.

call function 'zccc'

changing

x = xx

y = yy

am i correct ?

is "tables" still an acceptable clause ??

call function 'zccc'

tables

x = xx

y = yy

please confirm if my understanding is correct.

thks

That's right, TABLES parmeter in function modules and FORM routines are obselete, but still supported of course. You should start using Table Types to define the parameters which are to be tables, and define these parameters as either IMPORTING or EXPORTING parameters.

I dont think it is obsolete. if you want to work with tables in the function module then it should be passed as an tables parameter.

You have to pass a table in changing if you want to modify the entries in that table in your logic inside the FM.
