Plz SEARCH in SCN before posting.

In any SAP screen menu , system - status ,you can find it.

Also you can Check in table CVERS_TXT

Hi Guys,

VERSION_GET , This will show the organization plan version not SAP version.

IW_C_GET_FRONTEND_VERSION, This is for getting front end service files information. i.e from your local system files.

BDL_SYSTEM_INFO., This function module will display the information about system. i.e which operating system, os version, Database etc.

Hi Shankar ,

Table cvers_txt stores the short text of the versions according to the language.

Check this code to get the version - -

DATA : w_version TYPE cvers_txt-stext.

SELECT stext UP TO 1 ROWS FROM cvers_txt INTO w_version .
ENDSELECT.

WRITE w_version.

If you want to get according to language , check the bellow code --

DATA : w_version TYPE cvers_txt-stext.
SELECT SINGLE stext  FROM cvers_txt INTO w_version WHERE langu = 'DE'.
 WRITE w_version.

Note : Here language DE .

Hello

The (RFC-enabled) fm you are looking for is RFC_SYSTEM_INFO.

Hi,

Thank you very much man. This is the FM module exactly what i need. But here i am not able to identify weather its 4.6 / ECC 5 / ECC 6. which field will contain this information in this.

in ECC 6, I saw on field RFCS . it contains value 700. And RFCMA contains 370

in ECC 5, field RFCS contains value 640. And RFCMA contains 560

in ECC 4.6, field RFCS contains value 4.6C. and RFCMA contains 370

Now my question is how we can tell based on RFCS values SAP version is 4.6 / ECC 5 / ECC 6.

Plz help me in this....

Hi,

The standARD VALUE FOR ECC5.0 IS 640 , for ECC6 700 amd for 4.6 it is 4.6c.

you will have to write an if condition after calling the function module... and based on the if condition you can recognize the version....

Hi Uwe Schieferstein,

In each package level/patch level the filed values are same or it will change.

i.e

In ECC 6, RFCS and RFCMA field vlaues are same in each package level . i.e RFCS = 700 And RFCMA = 370

In same way in ECC 5, values of field RFCS = 640 And RFCMA = 560

In ECC 4.6, values of field RFCS = 4.6C AND RFCMA = 370

Suppose now in ECC 6, RFCS = 700 and RFCMA = 370, Patch level is 22.

in future you upgrade patch level to 30. Then at this level also the field values will be same or it will change.

Hi Shankar,

RFCS will be 700 for the all the paches of ECC 6 means RFCS will be 700 irrespective

of the paches.

Similarly for ECC 5, values of field RFCS will be 640 and for ECC 4.6, values of field RFCS = 4.6C .

So you need not to worry about the pache changes.
