Hi,

I have the following problem :

I have program A calling program B and need to pass a parameter. I have the following code currently :

programA :

...

data lv_dataset TYPE string

...

SUBMIT programB WITH s_con IN lt_p_con

WITH dataset = lv_dataset

.....

programB

PARAMETERS: dataset TYPE string.

....

However, i need to know what type to declare lv_dataset to as i get the error

"Wrong type passing parameters to "DATASET""

at runtime when i execute programA.

Please help as i cant see whats wrong!

Hi Samir Vora ,

Try this:

data lv_dataset TYPE SY-DSNAM

...

SUBMIT programB WITH s_con IN lt_p_con

WITH dataset = lv_dataset

.....

programB

PARAMETERS: dataset TYPE SY-DSNAM.

And i recommend changing the name of the parameter "dataset" because it is a reserved word.

Hope this information is help to you.

Regards,

José

Hi ,

You need to keep the datatype of parameters of report A and B same.

Also , parameters should be passed by EQ OR = and select option by using IN.

That's the basic rule.
