DEAR ALL

WHAT IS MEAN OF FUNCTION POOL.

Hi,

Function pool is one of the ABAP Dictionary object where we can create user-defined data types globally. Just goto SE11.

Select the radiobutton TYPE GROUP. Give the input as SLIS.

It will give you some picture .

Hi

FUNCTION-POOL declares a program in which you can define function modules. At runtime, function pool programs are loaded in to a new program group with their own user dialogs and their own shared data areas in the internal session of the calling program. For this reason, function groups (type F programs) must always begin with a FUNCTION-POOL statement. This is usually generated by the Function Builder. Type 1, M, or S programs should not begin with a FUNCTION-POOL statement, since they would then not share common data areas with the caller. However, in exceptional cases, you can introduce a type 1 or type M program with FUNCTION-POOL to ensure that externally-called subroutines can process their own screens. As in the REPORT and PROGRAM statements, you can specify the message class and standard list formatting options of the program in the FUNCTION-POOL statement.

Thanks

Function Pool and Function Group are one and the same thing.

Just when we view the Program for the Function Group it shows as Function Pool. When we view the Function group associated with Function Module, it displays Function group.

This can be viewed using SE37--> Goto --> Function Groups --> Display/Create/Change

The Program can be viwed using SE38.

Juts concatenate SAPL before the Function Group name and view it in SE38
