why don't the function module dump?

[Former Member]

one funciton module in the program.

like:

CALL FUNCTION 'Z_AA_CHOKA_XXX'

EXPORTING

F_IP_GJAHR = WK_GJAHR

F_IP_NENDO_KBN = TMP_CHAR

F_IP_BETU16_KBN = CNS_BETU16_KBN.

actually. only parameter F_IP_GJAHR is defined in the SE37.

extend check error:

The "EXPORTING" parameter "F_IP_NENDO_KBN" is not defined in the function module

interface "Z_AA_CHOKA_XXX" as a "IMPORTING" parameter.

It is strange, when I run the program, no dump happen. It should be dump as I expected and tested in other system.

What's the reason or there are some configurations?

[Former Member]

Hi ,

It happens. Nothing strange.

If you try commenting a parameter which is defined as mandatory in se37 then it will definitely dump. Try out.

hello Dave,

I see. But I tried it in another SAP system and the program dumped. What the reason cause the difference?

[Former Member]

are u working with same data in both the systems ?

eg :

assume System A : where it is not giving the dump

System B : where it is giving the dump

1 >there might be a scenario that when executed in A there is no data that u are passing in the extra parameters, wheras the data is present in the parameters when executed in B

2 > Are the A and B of same version ? I am sure they would not be.

There happens lot of changes as the SAP version changes.

eg In some SAP standard function modules/BAPIs you will find parameters declared without any type , which is again strange but it not something strange , it gets allowed a far as that version is concerned.

I hope you understand.

UmaDave - please spell words in out FULL. "You" not "u".

The FM raised an exception....that might give you a dump.

[Former Member]

Check whether FM is getting executed or not. There will be no dump , in case FM is not getting executed.

Hello Bhalla ,

I debug the program. Actually , the code of function module is executed.

BTY, the system is new upgraded .

[Former Member]

I guess the parameter validation is brought about in the ECC version which will result in a dump for a invalid paramter while it was allowed in the older 4.6x versions.

In the program flow the function module will not throw the dump.

But will be indicated in SLIN.

I think this happens in ECC Verions.

for ex the fm F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION has a exporting parameter FILEOPERATION

This param is not available in ecc6 , but still the fm works fine without dump.

[Former Member]

Hi

F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION has that parameter in IMPORT tab., and also available in ECC 6.0. We r using EhP 4 package. It is available.

FILEOPERATION LIKE DXFIELDS-FILEOPER

-> hi UmaDave ,

I create one test program. it is very simple and have very short code.

same data is passed to the function module in both A and B system. And I deleted all the code in function module, only parameter is left.

System B: ECC 6.0 system for testing with unicode

System A: ECC 6.0 system (upgraded from 4.6b) without unicode

also, I created a new program and function module in 4.6b. I found in 4.6b SAP doesn't check for the FM parameter.

I guess if SAP also doesn't check for the FM parameter after upgrade without unicode.
