Changing calling programs field's value in called exit/program

Former Member — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 05:31:49 GMT

Hi all,

I have a subroutine and it is passed a structure

This subroutine is calling a FM which is an exit .

Can i access and change the value of field in the structure ( which is passed to subroutine ) in the exit.

Currently , that structure is out of scope in the exit.

Please help me .

Thanks and Regards

Hi gurpreet,

1. we can access like this

( try in debug mode, inside the exit fm)

2. (programname)variablename

also use the BRACKETS.

the variable name should be global

to the calling program.

regards,

amit m.

Gurpreet,

You cannot modify unless its being passed as a changing parameter to the function module.

Through the back door, you can see if that structure is active in the memory in debug mode and if yes, assign it to a field symbol and change the value.

However, it is not recommended that you do this as it might cause some inconsistency.

Ravi

Hello Gurpreet,

U can access and change the structure in the exit even though it is not passed to the exit.

Main program ZABC_MAIN

structure zabc is passed to subroutine

within this subroutine call to exit..

FM exit_zbc...

data: fld(50) value '(ZABC_MAIN)zabc'.

field-symbols: <fs1>.

assign (fld) to <fs1>.

Now this fields symbol is pointing to the structure. U can try in debub mode also before coding this. When in exit type (ZABC_MAIN)zabc in the fields and c if it shows value.
