Calling a function module from APO Macro

Posted on Jul 14, 2008 at 11:33 PM 241 Views

Hi,

Can I call a function module from a macro directly without going through the user exit? If so, how should I pass the parameters to the function module? I don't have to get the results back to macro.

Regards

    Hi Asokan - you can call a function module directly from a macro providing it is designed to be called from a macro. For example if you are in the Macrobuilder and use the menu path Edit -> Edit User Function then you will get a list of existing function modules that you can call directly by inserting a Operator/function into your macro. If you want to call a function module not listed in the User Function drop down list then you will either need the user exit or create a custom function module as a wrapper and register the wrapper function module in the Edit User Function menu path. Calling a function module will always return a value - but you can choose to ignore that value depending on how you build your macro.

    Regards

    You can call a user function from the macro workbench. Go to Edit->Edit user function in the macro workbench. You can choose the parameters you need and save the user function. The contents of the function can be filled in using SE37.
