APPL_LOG_DELETE	With this function module you delete logs in the database according to specified selection conditions
APPL_LOG_DISPLAY	With this function module you can analyze logs in the database.
APPL_LOG_DISPLAY_INTERN	With this function module you can analyze logs in local memory, e.g. when you have only collected log records at runtime and do not want to write to the database.
APPL_LOG_INIT	This function module checks whether the specified object or sub-object exists and deletes all existing associated data in local memory.
APPL_LOG_READ_DB	With this function module you read the log data in the database for an object or sub-object according to specified selection conditions.
APPL_LOG_READ_INTERN	With this function module you read all log data whose log class has at least the specified value, from local memory, for the specified object or sub-object.
APPL_LOG_SET_OBJECT	With this function module, you create a new object or sub-object for writing in local memory. With a flag you can control whether the APPL_LOG_WRITE_... messages are written in local memory or are output on the screen.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_DB	With this function module you write all data for the specified object or sub-object in local memory to the database. If the log for the object or sub-object in question is new, the log number is returned to the calling program.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_HEADER	With this function module, you write the log header data in local memory.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_LOG_PARAMETERS	With this function module, you write the name of the log parameters and the associated values for the specified object or sub-object in local memory. If this function module is called repeatedly for the same object or sub-object, the existing parameters are updated accordingly. If you do not specify an object or sub-object with the call, the most recently used is assumed.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGE_PARAMS	With this function module you write a single message, with parameters, in local memory. Otherwise the function module works like APPL_LOG_WRITE_SINGLE_MESSAGE.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGES	With this function module you write one or more messages, without parameters, in local memory.
APPL_LOG_WRITE_SINGLE_MESSAGE	With this function module you write a single message, without parameters, in local memory. If no header entry has yet been written for the object or sub-object, it is created. If you do not specify an object or sub-object with the call, the most recently used is assumed.

F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST	F4 help that returns the values selected in an internal table. Very handy when programming your very own F4 help for a field.
Example:   data:     begin of t_values occurs 2,       value like kna1-begru,     end of t_values,       t_return like ddshretval occurs 0 with header line.     t_values = 'PAR*'.   append t_values.     t_values = 'UGG'.   append t_values.     call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'        exporting             retfield        = 'BEGRU'             value_org       = 'S'        tables             value_tab       = t_values             return_tab      = t_return        exceptions             parameter_error = 1             no_values_found = 2             others          = 3.     if sy-subrc = 0.     read table t_return index 1.       o_begru-low = t_return-fieldval.       if o_begru-low = 'PAR*'.       o_begru-option = 'CP'.     else.       o_begru-option = 'EQ'.     endif.       o_begru-sign = 'I'.       append o_begru to s_begru.   else.     o_begru = i_begru.   endif.

F4IP_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST	This function does not exist in 4.6 and above. Use F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST instead.
FILENAME_GET	popup to get a filename from a user, returns blank filename if user selects cancel

FTP_COMMAND	Execute a command on the FTP server
FTP_CONNECT	Open a connection (and log in) to an FTP server
FTP_DISCONNECT	Close the connection (and log off) the FTP server
FU CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ	You can use this function module to display simple material BOMs. You cannot display BOM groups (for example, all variants of a variant BOM). as in transaction CS03. Current restrictions: You cannot display long texts. You cannot display sub-items. You cannot display classification data of BOM items for batches. You can only display one alternative or variant. You cannot enter an alternative for module CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ, so you always see alternative 01. The following example came from a posting on the SAP-R3-L mailing list.
Example: data: begin of tstk2 occurs 0.           include structure stko_api02. data: end of tstk2.   data: begin of tstp2 occurs 0.           include structure stpo_api02. data: end of tstp2.     data: begin of tdep_data occurs 0.          include structure csdep_data. data: end of tdep_data.   data: begin of tdep_descr occurs 0.          include structure csdep_descr. data: end of tdep_descr.   data: begin of tdep_source occurs 0.          include structure csdep_source. data: end of tdep_source.   data: begin of tdep_order occurs 0.          include structure csdep_order. data: end of tdep_order.
