Documentation

The function module type defines the type of routines that are used to


carry out oil quantity conversion calculations. The calculations may be made using ABAP/4 Routines or external programs. The values which are possible are:

1 = ABAP/4 Functiom Module

2 = Customer-Function (ABAP/4)

3 = Call system (call a external programm at OS level)

4 = Remote Function Call (RFC)
This type calls the external program, using the RFC
destination "SERVER_EXEC".
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE' DESTINATION 'SERVER_EXEC' ...
(See also SM59 -> TCP/IP connections -> SERVER_EXEC.)

5 = ABAP/4 Functiom Module

6 = Customer-Function (ABAP/4)

Supported combinations of the routines:
Type 1 and 2 will called only one times by a conversion group. Meaning,
only one sequence per conversion group is possible if you using
function module 1 or 2.

Function module type 3, 4, 5 and 6 can be used as sequences in a
conversion group. The results of a called module are available as
input for the next modules.
