Call Method - Parameters exporting

Former Member — Fri, 22 May 2009 16:02:32 GMT

Hi All,

CALL METHOD ZXXX->PROCESS

exporting

struct1 = struct1

struct2 = struct2

int_tabl1 = int_tab1

int_tabl2 = int_tab2

int_tabl3 = int_tab3

var1 = var1

var2 = var2.

I'm calling a method like above and exporting 2 structures,3 internal tables and 2 variables to do further processing in the PROCESS routine.

Is there a limit on exporting parameters while calling methods? Will it have any performace issues?

Any ideas appreciated.

I don't think there is any limitations for number of export parameters while calling a method.

Hi,

There is no Limit for the Exporting or Importing Parameter.

Hi, Abap doesn't have any restriction about the number of parameters, although there is a limitation about the size of any statement it cannot be greater than 28 kb.

Hi,

There is restriction on the number of Parameters passed to a method. But it is always better from the performance aspect to pass by reference. So, unless and otherwise needed you can always use the Pass By Reference to Pass by Value.

You can have a look at the link below for a detailed and complete overview of Method Declarations:

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Samantak.
