How to find Obsolete function modules ?

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am working on upgrade project R/3 4.6 to ECC 6.0 . I need to find obsolete function modules in program . I already have list of obsolete FM .Is there any program or logic through which we can find all obsolete FM at single execution.

Thanks & Regards

Hello Sandeep,

I'm not sure if there's a standard report/program to list obsolete function modules, but you can manually check them in table RODIR (via SE16 transaction) - there's a flag properly called 'OBSOLETE'

FYI, table TFDIR contains the FMs that were released.

There are some notes which provid additional information on this topi:

#109533: Use of SAP function modules

#857904: Upgrade from Release 6.40 to 7.0 for customer programs

#595310: ws_filename_get function module is obsolete

Please be aware that those FMs are still there - all applications will have the old function modules installed for

backwards compatibility and legacy reasons. However if you are writing your own code, these function modules will still be available, but not supported by SAP Support.

I hope this information help you.

Best regards,

Here in the link there are some list of FM which are obsolete and the revised FMs are also mentioned.
