Obsolete function module in ECC6 - what to use instead of that

[Former Member]

I have to upgrade from SAP 4.7 to ECC6 .

Some obsolete function module are as follows:

ADDRESS_MAINTAIN

ADDRESS_UPDATE_OLD

DD_PR_REDEFINE

GRAPH_DIALOG

HELPSCREEN_NA_CREATE

Can anybody assist me which function module to use in place of this function module or which class methods to be used instead of these function modules ?

Thanks...

Hi Krishna,

Thanks for your suggesation .

But in ECC6 sap standared program are still using WS_UPLOAD also but sap recommend us to use GUI_UPLOAD or CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD.

So it recomment the abaper to use GUI_UPLOAD in ECC6 program but SAP itself is using WS_UPLOAD in their standard program.

Tell me if there is another function or any other way. Any suggesation is welcomed.

Hi Deepak,

Yes, You are right. But for some of the function modules replacements are not released.

I'm not sure but you can try these out.

ADDRESS_MAINTAIN_NEW

ADDRESS_UPDATE

GRAPH_POPUP

Thanks,

Sai

Hi Deepak ,

one other way is , go to 4.7 and SE37, do a where used list for the FM you are trying to find, and similar check in ECC for where used list. If SAP is saying that a FM is obselete , then they might have used a new FM in atleast any of the standard programs , so we can take from there, if both the where used list are same then there might not be replacement FM for the same in the current release of ECC.

Hope this helps you

Hi Deepak,

For ADDRESS_MAINTAIN you can go this way for now.

DATA : func_name TYPE rs38l_fnam.

func_name = 'ADDRESS_MAINTAIN'. "To escape the EPC Check

DO.

CALL FUNCTION func_name

EXPORTING

adrswa_in = sadr

processing_status = mode

kennzeichen = kz

save_intern = 'X'

title = am_title

IMPORTING

adrswa_out = sadr

returncode = return

update_flag = am_save

EXCEPTIONS

not_found = 4.

we haven't found any replacement for this. so doing it this way.

ADDRESS_UPDATE_OLD - No Replacement for this.

DD_PR_REDEFINE - No Replacement for this.

GRAPH_DIALOG - No Replacement for this.

All the Above 3 FMs are still being used in ECC standard programs.

Thanks,

Sai
