Topic : Modularization Techniques(INCLUDE PROGRAM)

INCLUDE Program -> We can create with the help of SE38 transaction code. It is not
an executeable program.
We can reuse Include program.

Way to Reuse : INCLUDE ( Include progrm name).

Example : Suppose Include program name is ZINCLUDE.

INCLUDE ZINCLUDE.

Topic : Modularization Techniques(Function Module)

Function Module -> It is a reuseable component. We will create only once and we can
use at several places. It is an example of Modularization technique.

Transaction code : SE37

Function Group -> It is container for the function modules.

Transaction Code : SE80

Various tabs in Function Modules

Attributes - It provides the generic infomation about the Function Module.( Date,
User name, Function group name , Package name).
Import - Input
Export - Output
Changing - Input/ Output.
Tables -> For Internal tables
Exceptions - It's purpose is to raise the exception/Error.
Source Code - It's purpose it to write the logic.

Ways to Declare Internal tables and Work areas

DATA : LT_DATA TYPE TABLE OF ( Local Structure ).

DATA : LT_DATA TYPE TABLE OF ( Global Structure ).
DATA : LT_DATA TYPE (TABLE TYPE).

DATA : LS_DATA TYPE ( Local Structure).

DATA : LS_DATA TYPE ( Global Structure).

Modularization Techniques(Sub routines)

It is also an Modularization technique. There is no seperate transaction code( ABAP

workbench tool) to create a Subroutine.

Syntax : PERFORM ( PERFORM NAME) TABLES USING CHANGING.

We can not change the sequence of TABLES USING CHANGING, but If one is not required
, We can skip it.

Example - If Tables is not required , then we can use USING CHANGING.

How to reuse a Sub routine :

PERFORM ( PERFORM NAME) IN PROGRAM ( PROGRAM NAME) TABLES USING CHANGING IF FOUND.

Q-1 : Difference between Include program and Function Module.

Answer : Include Program does not have any Interface( No Input/Output Provison),
But the Function module has a Interface.( Input/ output provison with

the help of Import/Export tabs).

Q-2 : Difference between Include program and Sub routine.

Answer : Include Program does not have any Interface( No Input/Output Provison),
But the Subroutine has a Interface.( Tables, Using, Changing)

Q-3 : Difference between Function module and Subroutines.

Answer : Function Module : There is a Seperate transaction code SE37 ( Workbench

tool) to create a Function module.
Subroutines : There is no seperate workbench tool to create a Subroutine.

Function Module : We can check the output of Function module using F8.( We
can independently run a Function module to check the output)
Subroutines : We can not run a subroutine independently.

Function Module : There is an Exception tab to raise the exception.

Sub routines : There is no exception tab.
