OK, first of all you must know to which function group(FG) your r copying the FM, that is in which FG your z-fm will be residing.

now se37-> enter the FM (original one) -> click on the copy icon (a square on another square, third from left)->now you will have a pop up-> "from" input box(leave it as it is)

and "to" input box : here you write your z FM name,

in Function group box: you enter the FG name where your z-FM should belong.

click on copy..thats it.

plz reward point if it helps you.

Hi Mave

You can't copy only fm, but it'd be better you copied th function group too:

- run the transaction SE80 and choose function group option;

- insert the function group of your fm std and choose COPY option by right button of the mouse;

- after copying function group the system'll ask you which fm you want to copy: choose your function.

Did you copy Function to an existing group??

If you created a new group then you need to activate all the objects. When you activate you get a list , select all and then activate.

That means the FM uses some declaration of variable or internal-tables, thats is declared in the global inclde of the original Function group. You got find that out.

This problem should not have persisited if the FG is same or there is no dependency.

You have to create a new function group where you insert your new fm.

You should copy the original function group and the fm you need.

Function Modules are heavilly dependant on Function Group for data declaration in TOP include or subroutines.

Which standard function module are you trying to copy .

In SE37 try to find the main program it will be SAPL.....

You should copy the whole function group to a Z group.

In SE38 give the program name as SAPL... ( as found above ) . Click on Copy . Next screen give the function group name in Z* namespace. This will copy the main program (Function Group ) and includes to new function group . Next you will be prompted to copy function modules . Give a name for each of the FMs ( or one FM which you want to copy) in Z* namesapce.

Cheers.
