Function documentationGenerating File Names

 

Here, the function modules are stored that generate a file name when IDocs are exchanged through a port with the type "File". These function modules are displayed as a list of possible entries (F4) when you create a file port. The standard system already contains some examples of such function modules. You can store your own function modules here.
