APPL_LOG_DELETEWith this function module you delete logs in the database according to specified selection conditions
APPL_LOG_DISPLAYWith this function module you can analyze logs in the database.
APPL_LOG_DISPLAY_INTERNWith this function module you can analyze logs in local memory, e.g. when you have only collected log records at runtime and do not want to write to the database.
APPL_LOG_INITThis function module checks whether the specified object or sub-object exists and deletes all existing associated data in local memory.
APPL_LOG_READ_DBWith this function module you read the log data in the database for an object or sub-object according to specified selection conditions.
APPL_LOG_READ_INTERNWith this function module you read all log data whose log class has at least the specified value, from local memory, for the specified object or sub-object.
APPL_LOG_SET_OBJECTWith this function module, you create a new object or sub-object for writing in local memory. With a flag you can control whether the APPL_LOG_WRITE_... messages are written in local memory or are output on the screen.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_DBWith this function module you write all data for the specified object or sub-object in local memory to the database. If the log for the object or sub-object in question is new, the log number is returned to the calling program.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_HEADERWith this function module, you write the log header data in local memory.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_LOG_PARAMETERSWith this function module, you write the name of the log parameters and the associated values for the specified object or sub-object in local memory. If this function module is called repeatedly for the same object or sub-object, the existing parameters are updated accordingly. If you do not specify an object or sub-object with the call, the most recently used is assumed.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGE_PARAMSWith this function module you write a single message, with parameters, in local memory. Otherwise the function module works like APPL_LOG_WRITE_SINGLE_MESSAGE.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGESWith this function module you write one or more messages, without parameters, in local memory.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_SINGLE_MESSAGEWith this function module you write a single message, without parameters, in local memory. If no header entry has yet been written for the object or sub-object, it is created. If you do not specify an object or sub-object with the call, the most recently used is assumed.

F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUESTF4 help that returns the values selected in an internal table. Very handy when programming your very own F4 help for a field.

Example:

  data:
    begin of t_values occurs 2,
      value like kna1-begru,
    end of t_values,

    t_return like ddshretval occurs 0 with header line.

  t_values = 'PAR*'.
  append t_values.

            value_org       = 'S'
       tables
            value_tab       = t_values
            return_tab      = t_return
       exceptions
            parameter_error = 1
            no_values_found = 2
            others          = 3.

  if sy-subrc = 0.
    read table t_return index 1.

    o_begru-low = t_return-fieldval.

    if o_begru-low = 'PAR*'.
      o_begru-option = 'CP'.
    else.
      o_begru-option = 'EQ'.
    endif.

    o_begru-sign = 'I'.

    append o_begru to s_begru.
  else.
    o_begru = i_begru.
  endif.

FILENAME_GETpopup to get a filename from a user, returns blank filename if user selects cancel
New ItemFM_SELECTION_CRITERIA_PRINTPrint out selection criteria. Nicley formatted.
FORMAT_MESSAGETakes a message id and number, and puts it into a variable. Works better than WRITE_MESSAGE, since some messages use $ as a place holder, and WRITE_MESSAGE does not accommadate that, it only replaces the ampersands (&) in the message.
FTP_COMMANDExecute a command on the FTP server
FTP_CONNECTOpen a connection (and log in) to an FTP server
FTP_DISCONNECTClose the connection (and log off) the FTP server
FU CSAP_MAT_BOM_READYou can use this function module to display simple material BOMs. You cannot display BOM groups (for example, all variants of a variant BOM). as in transaction CS03. Current restrictions: You cannot display long texts. You cannot display sub-items. You cannot display classification data of BOM items for batches. You can only display one alternative or variant. You cannot enter an alternative for module CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ, so you always see alternative 01. The following example came from a posting on the SAP-R3-L mailing list.

Example:
data: begin of tstk2 occurs 0.
          include structure stko_api02.
data: end of tstk2.

data: begin of tstp2 occurs 0.
          include structure stpo_api02.
data: end of tstp2.


data: begin of tdep_data occurs 0.
         include structure csdep_data.
data: end of tdep_data.

data: begin of tdep_descr occurs 0.
         include structure csdep_descr.
data: end of tdep_descr.

data: begin of tdep_source occurs 0.
         include structure csdep_source.
data: end of tdep_source.

data: begin of tdep_order occurs 0.
         include structure csdep_order.
data: end of tdep_order.

data: begin of tdep_doc occurs 0.
         include structure csdep_doc.
data: end of tdep_doc.

data: flg_warning like capiflag-flwarning.

   call function 'CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ'
        exporting
             material   = 'MAT100'
             plant      = '0001'

Function Group GRAP is now obsolete.SAP recommends using functions in function group SFES instead. Below is an overview of the changes.
G_SET_GET_ALL_VALUESFetch values from a set.

Example:
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_CURRENT_YEAR'
  EXPORTING
    BUKRS         = '1000'     " Company Code

HELP_STARTDisplay help for a field. Useful for doing AT SELECTION SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST for those fields that do not provide F4 help at the DDIC level.
HELP_VALUES_GET_WITH_TABLEShow a list of possible values for F4 popup help on selection screens. This function module pops up a screen that is just like all the other F4 helps, so it looks like the rest of the SAP system. Very useful for providing dropdowns on fields that do not have them predefined.

Example:
tables: t001w.

DATA: lc_werks      LIKE t001w-werks,
      ltab_fields LIKE help_value OCCURS 0 with header line,

      BEGIN OF ltab_values OCCURS 0,

HOLIDAY_CHECK_AND_GET_INFOUseful for determining whether or not a date is a holiday. Give the function a date, and a holiday calendar, and you can determine if the date is a holiday by checking the parameter HOLIDAY_FOUND.
