Hi

For youre questions, I would like to give you my opinion.

1. In standard SAP program, if you create a type S program, and in this program you declare all the

subroutines which will be used in standard program. Then you can call it subrountine pool. So you see it is

just a program with type S. You can call the subroutine defined in it like

PERFORM <sub_name>(<program_name>).

2. Function module is also a kind of special external subroutines. Usually fuction module is designed for

all the programs, it focuses on reusability while subroutine pool is designed for one or several programs, it

focuses on readability of program.

Another point, function module must be assigned to a function group. And when we call a function

module the system will automatically load all the functions which belongs to the same function group. So it

will cost more unneccessary memory. While you use subrountine pool, even if all the subroutine are loaded,

the memory does not waste because all the them will be used.
