You can take an example with
https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a000245965.htm
That's an example of what?
Please take the time to fully explain your questions. This type of back and forth is a waste of time and not productive in any manner, besides people responding 'Go google it' because its that basic. If you can't take the time to ask a question clearly, at some point it's not worth our time to answer it.

If the documentation of a function/call routine does not mention a special SAS module or has a "valid in" restriction, then the function/call routine in question is part of Base SAS and can be used anywhere SAS functions/routines can be used in a syntactically correct way.
BTW testing always trumps everything else. Use a function and look at the log. If you get an ERROR, consult the documentation. If that does not give you a clue, come back with that specific problem here, but don't pester the forum with unspecific and outright silly questions.
Out of curiosity do you think I have that location memorized? No, To find it I would have to search and then post it. You'll do yourself a massive favour learning how to navigate the SAS Docs. I recommend starting with finding the SAS Base functions list and navigating that. Make sure its correct for your version of SAS. If you use 9.4 docs but have SAS 9.2 thats not going to help you. Or SAS has the help menu installed as well. Using the internal doc means it's guaranteed for your system.
Could you provide one example, including the code you ran and the error you received?

As requested before, please post test code and log that shows the error you are getting.
For example, the below log shows that the UPCASE function works for me. If you run this code and get and error, please post the full log. If you've got another example that shows the error, please show the log with code and error.
15 data _null_;
16 myVar="MixedCase";
17 myVar=upcase(myVar);
18 put myVar=;
19 run;
myVar=MIXEDCASE
@Quentin : Thank, I do not have this error.
It can be a restruction made the administrator on some functions.
Please, is it possible to show the functions under restrruction.
I don't know about adminstrator's ways to restrict functions. Again, please show the log you get when you run a data step that uses a function you believe to be restricted. The log should show the data step you ran and the error message or warning you get.
Using SAS is about data analysis.
So please provide the data for your problem - i.e. the event of a sas function failing to be invoked, as reported in a sas log.

There is no way for an admin to restrict the use of functions.
In case you have not yet noticed:
SHOW YOUR LOG!!!
While it would still help if you showed the code you ran and your resulting log, are you using SAS EG? If so, then the following blog article explains how one can view the functions that have been limited by your site administrator: http://blogs.sas.com/content/sasdummy/2013/01/07/controlling-access-to-custom-tasks-in-sas-enterpris...

@art297 : Thank very much. great
Yes, I use EG. the document talks about the controlling access "the custom". but I am raaly interssed by the controle setting for one user or group.
Since @ChrisHemedinger wrote that blog, I'm sure he could shed some light on whether regular SAS functions can be restricted and, if so, how a user could identify those that have been restricted. While I'm not an EG user, the blog indicated that by clicking on the "functions" tab, a user would see a list of all restricted functions.

That blog entry is not about SAS functions, but EG tasks. Two completely different things.
As soon as a user can write and execute SAS code, she can use all Base SAS functions.
@Kurt_Bremser thank you
When I search "EG tasks" on blog, I get the docs belows, sorry I do not find the answer to my question
