To create a function module, you first need to start the Function Builder. Choose Tools ® ABAP Workbench, Function Builder. For more information about creating function modules, refer to the ABAP Workbench Tools documentation.
To be able to call a function module in an update work process, you must flag it in the Function Builder. When you create the function module, set the Process Type attribute to one of the following values:

To represent the remote enabled function module as a BAPI, BAPI Wizard is used. The wizard generates some additional code to allow the BAPI to be called as a workflow method apart from being called by an outside program.
When creating a new object type in BOR (Business Object Repository), there can be two possibilities. Either it is created as a subtype of an existing business object or it is created as a new business object from scratch. |

Modularization Techniques Processing blocks that are called from ABAP programs:
- Subroutines
- Function modules
- Methods
Procedures
Procedures contain a set of statements, and are called from other ABAP programs.
The processing blocks that you call from ABAP programs are called procedures
You define procedures in ABAP programs. When the program is generated, they remain as standalone modules. You can call procedures in the program in which they are defined, or from external programs. Procedures have an interface for passing data, and can also contain local data.
ABAP contains the following kinds of procedures:

Synchronous BAPIs Synchronous means we will have the action immediately . Synchronous BAPIs are generally used to read data from a remote logical system, for example to display a customer list. Asynchronous BAPIs Asynchronus will perform the action in background . Asynchronous BAPIs are generally used for replicating data on one or more logical systems, for example to distribute article master data.

Source Code Patterns.
In the ABAP editor there is the functionality to insert code into your program using what is called a pattern. You use this functionality each time you insert a function call for example. This menu option is reached via the menu path SE38->Edit->Pattern:

Calling An External Program From SAP.
Operating system programs and other application programs can be called from SAP in one of four ways.
The first two methods depend on the location of the application program – whether it resides on the local PC, or the application server. Both are easy to implement. The third way, using ABAP objects relies on the application being called being an OLE server. The fourth I regard as a kind of back door....
An OLE server uses object technology for sharing information and services across process and machine boundaries. |

If you've experienced RFC calls that provide different results for the same interface values passed consider checking the gateway setting on your RFC destination. If you test the RFC using SE37 it will use the current app server to process the request. If you call the RFC remotely and specify the incorrect gateway then the RFC may appear to work but return no results... |

Programming a BAPI consists of 6 major tasks: - Defining BAPI Data structures in SE11
- Program a RFC enabled BAPI function module for each method
- Create a Business object for the BAPI in the BOR
- Documentation of the BAPI
- Generate ALE interface for asynchronous BAPIs
- Generate and release
Tip: You can use the BAPI explorer to get a step by step instruction / checklist in how to create a BAPI. In the BAPI explorer select the Project tab. |

You can use the DCOM connector or the Java Connector to connect to an SAP system if you have access to a programming language like VB, C++ or Java. If you don't and a client of yours needs to extract data from an SAP system to a flat file then here is the procedure to accomplish it. We make use of a DOS batch file which will call the SAP standard STARTRFC executable to attach to the SAP machine. |
