Code Modularization is important aspect of the coding. ABAP allows us to modular the code using Subroutines, FMs, Methods, Macros, Includes, etc.
New Poll
Recently, I came across a program without any specific code modules. That inspired me to think what would be best choice for Code modularization. So I figured it would be a ideal choice for this round of Poll. I’m pretty sure that I would receive mixture of answers.
The poll is available in the sidebar asks an question:
Your Options are:
- Subroutines in your Program
- Function Modules in a Separate Function Group
- Methods in a Class
- Macros – Local & Global
- Includes – Just to put my code separate without any wrapper
- I don’t care for Code Modularization
I’ll try to collect the results in couple of weeks with anything interesting on the subject.

Poll – I use a combination of includes, forms, and methods. While I am moving my new coding to OO, much of what I do must be maintained by ABAPPERs without OO knowledge. So I use includes and forms.
Naimesh – What kind of program did you see? SAP or custom? REPORT or PROGRAM? Inquiring readers wish to know!
Hello Steve,
Nice to hear from you, again π
I saw many times in a third party products. Although they are SAP approved, they are not as modular as it should be. I also noticed in few Std programs – don’t recall right now, but would tried to dig again and post here. Most of them are very old school programs.
I agree that we need to make it easier for other to maintain but we think for them all the time, we can’t move forward π

I use function modules, if the client needs oo then use methods.
Hello j@y,
It is always depend on the requirements. But if there is no restriction – I guess you would want to use FMs. Thanks for your vote.
