Function Module without a Function Group?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can a Function Module be executed when the function group is missing?

I have a situation where we failed to transport the function group along with a function module to the higher system.

My next transport release cycle is not until tomorrow.

During this time, will I be able to continue using the programs which call this function module in the higher system for testing?

Kindly share your views/experiences in this regard.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Keerthi

HI Keerthi,

I don't think you will be able to use that function module without the function group. But, to be absolutely sure, why don't you actually try running it in the system and find out?

what your tests showed, syntax errror message and or dump ?

Hi Keerthivasan,

I don't think an FM without a function group is of any use. While creating a function module itself the system asks for an already created function group(or you have to create one while creating fm).

The program might throw a syntax error or go to dump when any program tries to access the function module.

Hope this helps

Hi,

what return-code has your transport containing the function module?

Did it finish with return-code 0? I would expect a 8 -> error due to syntax errors during the generation phase.

Hi,

My transport ended in errors - also I am not even able to display the FM in the target system.

I had to move the function group all over again to make it work.

Thanks everyone for the help.
