Copy Standard FM

[Former Member]

I am trying to copy Standard FM IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS

( The Function Group and Includes ) .I am getting a message "There is more than one main program" if I double click on any function.

Question : Do I need to copy each and every includes into Z* ?

I fear since the Sub Includes are still Standard Incl.

when the performs are called would the passing variables still retain the value?

I am getting syntax error in one of the nested Incl.However allows me to activate the Main program without any issues?

the ideal way is to goto se80

open the function group

CLICK on the function group.

right-click and select COPY !

In this way, it will copy

all includes, top files, all functional modules .

A new window will come

there u have to specify the NEW name

of the related function module,

for all fms.

HI

GOOD

IN THIS CASE YOU HAVE TO COPY THOSE INCLUDE PROGRAM THAT YOU R GOING TO USE.YES IF THAT INCLUDE IS HAVING A SUB INCLUDE AND YOU FEEL THE USE OF THAT SUB INCLUDE THAN YOU HAVE TO RENAME IT TO Z*.SEARCH THE REQUIRED CHANGES THROUGH THE GLOBAL SEARCH AND THAN DO THE CHANGES OF APPROPRIATE INCLUDE PROGRAM TO Z PROGRAMS.

THANKS

I did the same thing but my doubt is about subincludes .

Which will stay as it is EX: LVEDAF1D,LVEDAF04 .I think I need to recreate this here with Z* includes

Hi Prakash,

u may retain the standard includes itself.. u need to copy them into Z in case u have something to change inside them..

Hope it helps,

You will have to copy the subroutines in those includes manually, to the includes of your function group.

There is some user exists too present in the FM 'IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS' .Please do let me know is that ok to copy or do I need to do something extra ?.Thanks in advance .

I don't think you will be requiring the user exits and more over if you retain them if some one uses them tomorrow, it will start affecting your code as well.

SO, if you want that, retain them, else you can remove.

My call will be remove that.

You are right, you will not be able to use that user exit function in your function. Please remove that and try.
