Hello Venkataramana

Just click on "activate anyway" button a popup window is displayed. All the includes get activated and you should not get that error.

Hi,

First active the Function Group which you have copied and then activate the function module.

You must have missed TOP include. Activate the top include then uxx include and then the function group. Go through all inactive objects and try to find SAPL*TOP and activate it.

Don't go for "Activate Anyway." - Ever.

It just creates a faulty copy in the system and when executed, gives a runtime dump of syntax error. - And you end up loosing original working copy. If SAP is giving an error, there must be a reason for it.

Thanks Chinmay for correcting me ... my bad

But this is a very common error while working with FM's and it is typically because of the sequence in which we activate the programs ..

Goto SE80->Give Function group name->Right click on it->Activate.

Hi Kulkarni,

Thank you so much for your information. the issue has been solved.

that is why I always keep "display object list" open and activate objects by right clicking on root object.

Many times I would forget to activate statuses and titlebars and keep wondering whats wrong.
