2 Function Modules using same function group

[Former Member]

I have two function modules (Z_FINOPT & Z_FINOPT_1) which one is a copy of the other. They both are in the same function group and both have a structure defined called ET_FINOPT.

When the function module executes it calls another function module (Z_GET_FM). In the original function module (Z_FINOPT) everything works fine however in the new function module (Z_FINOPT_1) I get a message that states "The field symbol ET_FINOPT is not assigned" as soon as I make the call to Z_GET_FM.

I am fairly new to ABAP and would like to know what may be causing this issue.

This message means that this field symbol has got no value, so you can't keep processing it.

You must assign the value you need to the Filed symbol with the instruction:

Assign XXX to <FIELD-SYMBOL>

Hope this help.

Reward points if helpful please.

This didn't seem to resolve the problem.

Note: My original code works in the original function module. It is just the new function module I created that is not working even though it is the same exact code.

Any other suggestions?
