Function Module development without a development key on a development system. Is this possible?

[luis_pinho]

Hi all,

I've created a development environment using SAP development available in the SAP site a few months ago following the https://blogs.sap.com/2017/09/04/newbies-guide-installing-abap-as-751-sp02-on-linux/ blog post.

In order to do a RFC call to this system, I wanted to create a Z function that I could call remotely.

I entered in the transaction se37 and tried to create a function, but its asking for a access key, I don't have any and until now, I didn't needed one.

Can you help me out?

Thanks,

Luís Pinho

Your screenshot in the question above is not the prompt for a Developer Access Key but it is because you are trying to "mod" a non-Z/Y development object and SAP considers it as a core-mod. You should have no problem creating your own Z/Y Function Modules/Groups in the ABAP Dev Edition server with the DEVELOPER user.

Hi Alban,

I took several screenshots, so I don't remember what was this scenario, but one of the times I tried to change an already existing function.

What I tried today, and it worked, was to great a new Z function group.

After using that function group with a new function that started with the letter Z, everything worked.

Thanks for your help,

Luis Pinho

Glad you figured it out - and yes, sounds like earlier you were trying to create a new Z-Function Module but on a non-Z Function Group and ran into the prompt for Access Key.

So, yes - if you create EVERYTHING in the Z/Y-namespace, the DEVELOPER user-id should really have no issues with it at all.
