Short dumps on old FM with obsolete parms - RESOLVED

[Sample, Rick]

Resolved.

Yea, we need to change to WAPI ... when we get to it or must change it.
This was code written in 2002. Our intro into the world of SAP. So a lot of code could be revisited if you know what mean.

Findings:
I believe a service pack upgrade flipped on the uni-code check option for an old 4.6c created BOR object. No matter what changed it, we now must address it.

I tested the SAP FM in a Local Object (i.e. in a Y test FM) with/without unicode option turned on.
- When "Unicode checks active" option not checked, the runtime does not abort.
- When "Unicode checks active" option is checked, the runtime aborts.

So, we have the option to change this to unicode and swap in WAPI calls vs. SWW*.

Thanks,
Rick

Rick,
        why dont you try with SAP_WAPI* Fm's.Hope this may help you.Most of the time the former FM's(SWW*) wont work as expected.

Hi folks,

I have an old FM calling SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ with an old obsolete parm that is now getting short dumps.

CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ'
 EXPORTING
   wi_id                    = l_activewi_id
   read_for_update          = 'X'
 TABLES
   wi_container             = container
 EXCEPTIONS
   container_does_not_exist = 1
   OTHERS                   = 2.

SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ used to have this export parameter called:
"read_for_update" (no longer used and obviously not for a long time but never caused issues)
The FM compiles without warning, but does show as error in SLIN. When it was written, was not an issue.

Now, we are in ECC6 for few years, and did a service pack upgrade over the weekend. (Gathering details on exactly what moved up)

Is there some option that could have been turned on stronger checks on something like the FM interfaces?

Thanks,
Rick
