EXPORT an internal table to memory

Former Member — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 09:15:58 GMT

Hi,

In normal ABAP programming, an internal table is stored in the memory as shown below:

EXPORT itab TO MEMORY ID 'store_itab'.

But when i try to write the same code in a method of a global class, i get an error saying:

"EXPORT var_1,.......var_n TO MEMORY.........is not supported in OO context.

Use EXPORT name_1 from var_1,.......name_n from var_n TO MEMORY.......instead.........".

How can i store this internal table itab into memory.

Thanks a lot in advance for helping.

Best Regards,

Raghu

Hi,

Below given is the example for Exporting internal table into memory and importing back when required:

Program-1

EXPORT i_zpack_memory FROM i_zpack_migo TO MEMORY ID 'ZPMIGO'.

Program-2

IMPORT i_zpack_memory TO i_zpack_migo FROM MEMORY ID 'ZPMIGO'.

Hi,

As per abap keyword doc following is the syntax..

EXPORT obj1 ... objn TO INTERNAL TABLE itab = f.

Effect

The contents of data object f is exported and stored under the name specified before =.

EXPORT obj1 ... objn TO INTERNAL TABLE itab FROM f .

Effect

The contents of data object f is exported and stored under the name specified before FROM.

Regards.
