Hello,

You can use Memory-ID for the same.

Pass the internal table to Memory Id using: EXPORT <ITAB> from MEMORY-ID 'MY MEMORY'.

Take the data from the memory in another program using: IMPORT <itab> to MEMORY-ID 'MY MEMORY'.

You will be able to access the programs data if both the program runs in the same session. Memory ID uses the ABAP memory space to hold data and Garbage collector deletes the data after the session is over as it does not finds any pointer pointing to that memry address.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Jayant

Hi,

SUBMIT prog|(field) (AND RETURN)(options).

If you use AND RETURN, the system stores the data of the calling executable program and returns to the calling after processing the called program.

Hello Harish,

I have asked you to use the Memory ID concept. It works good. Please try and let me know in case of any issue.

Thanks,

suppose in ztest2 u have it_out internal table ..

u export in ztest2

write export it_out to memory id 'AA'.

then in ztest1 you import the same internal table as

import i_out from memory id 'AA'.

and now the data of it_out table will be available in the program ztest2

Hello,

Below statement will put the value in SAP Memory.

EXPORT <your internal table/work area> TO MEMORY ID 'TEST_MEMORY'.

Below statement will get the value stored in internal table.

IMPORT <your internal table/work area> FROM MEMORY ID 'TEST_MEMORY'.

This is all from the syntax side. You can give any name to your memory id.

Thanks,

Jayant

Check Rich's post in the thread below, you have to make minor modifications to meet your requirement

use IMPORT statement after SUBMIT...AND RETURN statement in the calling program and EXPORT...in

the called program. You can use your own name for the memory ID.

Hello,

You do not need to define the Memory-id, it will be created at the run time i.e. space will be allocated to you as you encounter the statement export and this space will be deleted or marked for deletion as soon as the session in which your program is running in completed. Garbage collector for SAP will clear the SAP memory that you have utilized. Also, do not fear that you will be using enough memory of SAP which would be causing some problem in Production because there would also be other processes running because this will not take much of you SAP memory and will not effect the system much.
