Rfc?

what exactly is RFC? i know it means remote function calls and is some kind C-Interface that allows you to call functions on a remote mashine (if i understood the things google told me correctly).
but does anyone have a link / is bored enough to explain here what exactly this all is about?


(to be honest, i need to write a few sentnces about it, because i indirectly used it to access an SAP-System)

Its a generic term for interoperability between programs

No geek would call anything an RFC, except a Referral For Comment. I humbly suggest your lecturer, or whoever told you it was 'Remote Function Call', has got ****ing head **** disease.

Remote Function Call



The term you selected is being presented by searchSAP.com, a TechTarget site for SAP professionals.


RFC is also an abbreviation for Request for Comments.
A Remote Function Call (RFC) is an application program interface to R/3 applications from SAP, the German company that sells a coordinated set of applications and databases to Fortune 1000 companies. SAP customers who wish to write other applications that communicate with R/3 applications and databases can use the RFC interface to do so.

It's not uncommon to mean "Request For Change" actually. Although "Referral For Comment" is correct as far as I am concerned.

But of course ASP = "Active Server Page" and "Application Service Provider". Both are correct in their own fields.
