With this function module you delete logs in the database according to specified selection conditions With this function module you can analyze logs in the database. With this function module you can analyze logs in local memory, e.g. when you have only collected log records at runtime and do not want to write to the database. This function module checks whether the specified object or sub-object exists and deletes all existing associated data in local memory. With this function module you read the log data in the database for an object or subobject according to specified selection conditions. With this function module you read all log data whose log class has at least the specified value, from local memory, for the specified object or sub-object. With this function module, you create a new object or sub-object for writing in local memory. With a flag you can control whether the APPL_LOG_WRITE_... messages are written in local memory or are output on the screen. With this function module you write all data for the specified object or sub-object in local memory to the database. If the log for the object or sub-object in question is new, the log number is returned to the calling

program. APPL_LOG_WRITE_HEADER With this function module, you write the log header data in local memory. With this function module, you write the name of the log parameters and the associated values for the specified object or sub-object in local memory. If this function module is called repeatedly for the same object or sub-object, the existing parameters are updated accordingly. If you do not specify an object or sub-object with the call, the most recently used is assumed. With this function module you write a single message, with parameters, in local memory. Otherwise the function module works like APPL_LOG_WRITE_SINGLE_MESSAGE. With this function module you write one or more messages, without parameters, in local memory. With this function module you write a single message, without parameters, in local memory. If no header entry has yet been written for the object or sub-object, it is created.

Example:

Set the parameters as follows: RELID = 'ZZ' SRTF2 = 0 SRTF = (your report name)

Please note that you should not use SY-REPID to pass your report name to the function. The value of SY-REPID will change as it is being passed to the function module, and will no longer hold the value of the calling report. EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING return a list of filenames from a local or network drive EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES Pass in a filename and a path, and will return attributes for the file displays a calendar in a popup window and allows user to choose a date, or it can be displayed read only. Use values from a DDIC table to provide a list of possible values. TABNAME and FIELDNAME are required fields, and when MULTIPLE_CHOICE is selected, more than one value can be returned. F4 help that returns the values selected in an internal table. Very handy when programming your very own F4 help for a field.

F4_DATE

F4_IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST

F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST

Example:

data: begin of t_values occurs 2, value like kna1-begru, end of t_values, t_return like ddshretval occurs 0 with header line. t_values = 'PAR*'. append t_values.

Page 10 of 24
t_values = 'UGG'. append t_values. call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' exporting retfield = 'BEGRU' value_org = 'S' tables value_tab = t_values return_tab = t_return exceptions parameter_error = 1 no_values_found = 2 others = 3. if sy-subrc = 0. read table t_return index 1. o_begru-low = t_return-fieldval. if o_begru-low = 'PAR*'. o_begru-option = 'CP'. else. o_begru-option = 'EQ'. endif. o_begru-sign = 'I'. append o_begru to s_begru. else. o_begru = i_begru. endif.

F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE

documents the different reasons to use a search help exit, and shows how it is done. This function does not exist in 4.6 and above. Use F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST instead. popup to get a filename from a user, returns blank filename if user selects cancel Takes a message id and number, and puts it into a variable. Works better than WRITE_MESSAGE, since some messages use $ as a place holder, and WRITE_MESSAGE does not accommadate that, it only replaces the ampersands (&) in the message.

FTP_COMMAND FTP_CONNECT

Execute a command on the FTP server Open a connection (and log in) to an FTP server Close the connection (and log off) the FTP server You can use this function module to display simple material BOMs. You cannot display BOM groups (for example, all variants of a variant BOM). as in transaction CS03. Current restrictions: You cannot display long texts. You cannot display sub-items. You cannot display classification data of BOM items for batches. You can only display one alternative or variant. You cannot enter an alternative for module CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ, so you always see alternative 01. The following example came from a posting on the SAP-R3-L mailing list.

FTP_DISCONNECT

FU CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ

Example:

data: begin of tstk2 occurs 0. include structure stko_api02. data: end of tstk2. data: begin of tstp2 occurs 0. include structure stpo_api02. data: end of tstp2. data: begin of tdep_data occurs 0. include structure csdep_data. data: end of tdep_data. data: begin of tdep_descr occurs 0. include structure csdep_descr. data: end of tdep_descr. data: begin of tdep_source occurs 0. include structure csdep_source. data: end of tdep_source. data: begin of tdep_order occurs 0. include structure csdep_order. data: end of tdep_order.

Function Group GRAP is now obsolete.

SAP recommends using functions in function group SFES instead. Below is an overview of the changes. Fetch values from a set. Get the current fiscal year.

G_SET_GET_ALL_VALUES GET_CURRENT_YEAR

Example:
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_CURRENT_YEAR' EXPORTING BUKRS = '1000' " Company Code DATE = SY-DATUM " Date to find fiscal year for IMPORTING CURRM = w_currm " Current Fiscal Month CURRY = w_curry " Current Fiscal Year PREVM = w_prevm " Previous Fiscal Month PREVY = w_prevy. " Previous Fiscal Year

Delete a file on the presentation server Replaces WS_DOWNLOAD. Download table from the app server to presentation server Replaces WS_EXECUTE. Start a File or Program Asynchronously with WinExec Replaces WS_QUERY. Delivers Information About the Desktop (client) Delete a directory on the presentation server Start a File or Program Asynchronously with ShellExecute Replaces WS_UPLOAD. Upoad file from presentation server to the app server Display help for a field. Useful for doing AT SELECTION SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST for those fields that do not provide F4 help at the DDIC level. Show a list of possible values for F4 popup help on selection screens. This function module pops up a screen that is just like all the other F4 helps, so it looks like the rest of the SAP system. Very useful for providing dropdowns on fields that do not have them predefined.
