Using Field symbol to fetch data from another program

Former Member — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 10:45:01 GMT

I have a requirement where i need to fetch value of a field from one of the function pool so i have written a sample progam to check the logic but its doest seems to work its giving dump.

Basically i want to know how to use <programname><fieldname> with fieldsymbol.

REPORT ztest1.

DATA test(25) VALUE 'ggg'.

submit ztest.

report ztest.

constants: lv_memory(25) type c value '(ZTEST1)TEST'.

field-symbols: <fs2> type char25 .

assign (lv_memory) to <fs2>.

write : <fs2>.

I am getting same field symbol assignment dump

This is not possible to access data of other program like this.

The reason is that both programs run in different internal sessions which are exclusive for each of them.

You can try this trick to some function modules you call, as this one is called within same internall session where the program runs, but for two separate programs you will need to use ABAP memory to exchange data.

Check the below piece for ZTEST

CONSTANTS: lv_memory(25) TYPE c VALUE '(ZTEST1)TEST'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs2> TYPE char25  .
ASSIGN lv_memory TO  <fs2>.
WRITE : <fs2>.

Hi Rahul,

You can use this concept in between the FUNCTION MODULES where both are

under same FUNCTION GROUP ( as both the FM's have same global memory area ).

And also if you are calling an FM or method from your program ,you can have the data of the calling program in that called FM or METHOD.

Hope this may help you.

Nice explanation. BTW are you a proof reader for SAP online documentation.

I find the same wording here: [http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPASSIGN_MEM_AREA_DYNAMIC_DOBJ.htm#!ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_1@1@|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPASSIGN_MEM_AREA_DYNAMIC_DOBJ.htm#!ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_1@1@]
