 | You can still use this tool to search for use of RFCs if for some reason the existent standard features are not available in your SAP system. |
Standard features:
- If you need to search where a nonexistent RFC is being used in ABAP code go to SE37, fill function module name even if don’t exist in your system, open menu Utilities and select option Where-Used List:
- If you are searching for remote functions modules go to SE37, press F4, in popup click button
, then button All Selections 
, fill function module name and flag RFC Modules radio button:
- ABAP source scan:
If you don’t know the functions modules names and need to find where RFCs are used you can run ABAP code search using key words like CALL FUNCTION or DESTINATION. With report RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN or transactions CODE_SCANNER, EWK1 you can search for strings in ABAP source code but kept in mind that if search criteria is not correct these can lead to timeouts, dumps or log processing times.
How to implement:
- Create a executable report in your SAP development system with name ZNM_FIND_RFC and description Search RFCs calls using transaction SE38;
- Copy past code bellow and activate the program;
- Create/Fill corresponding Text Symbols and Selection Texts. Please check the meaning at top comments of the program.
If you are not able to activate the program because of nonexistent standard objects please downgrade for earlier SAP versions. If you need help on it, please kept me informed.

How to use:
ZNM_FIND_RFC is an IT tool to be used only for nonexistent remote function modules. Please use standard where-used functionality for all others situations.
- Just fill RFC name and execute;
- Check result objects and double click rows to navigate to objects source code where RFC is being used.
