Hello,

In the abap editor click the Pattern button in the Application tololbar.

Click the CAll function radio button and give the name of the FM u want to call in the report.

If useful reward points.

Hai Geetha

Just put the cursor at the start of the line where ever you want to insert the Function module

press 'Ctrl+F6'

give 'BDC_OPEN_GROUP' and press enter

then you will pass mandatory parameters

Thats it

Check this as bellow

form open_group.

call function 'BDC_OPEN_GROUP'

EXPORTING

CLIENT = SY-MANDT

• DEST = FILLER8

GROUP = 'SRINU_PPP'

• HOLDDATE = FILLER8

KEEP = 'X'

USER = sy-uname

• RECORD = FILLER1

• PROG = SY-CPROG

• IMPORTING

• QID =

EXCEPTIONS

CLIENT_INVALID = 1

DESTINATION_INVALID = 2

GROUP_INVALID = 3

GROUP_IS_LOCKED = 4

HOLDDATE_INVALID = 5

INTERNAL_ERROR = 6

QUEUE_ERROR = 7

RUNNING = 8

SYSTEM_LOCK_ERROR = 9

USER_INVALID = 10

OTHERS = 11

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

endform.

Thanks & regards

Hi,

You can write

CALL FUNCTION <function-module name>.

and write the importing and exporting parameters if required.

The easiest way to call is:

Click on the Pattern tab in the toolbar and write the fuction module namein the text box adjacent to the 'call' label.

You can call your BDC fuction module name also like that.
