Hi Roby

Notes to follow while using set parameter id.

The global, user-specific SAP memory is available to a user for the duration of a single terminal session. Values written to it are retained even when the user exits a program.

Do not use SAP memory as a temporary storage area, since parallel sessions belonging to the same user all use the same memory area.

Only store data of the types C, N, D, and T, as well as structures that consist of these types, in the SAP Memory.

You can create new parameter IDs using the ABAP Workbench.

Parameter Id is shared between different sessions of same user login.

But what exactly the error you are facing.

The problem is when i run the program in the same client from my user id , it is working , but when i run the same program for the same client from different user id , it is not setting the value that i have set using the parameter id .

problem in detail:

in my program i am setting a variable using parameter id.

when i run the program it creates two sessions .

when i run the first session it sets the value.

when i run the second session its not setting the value.

and more over if the run the program on different user logon in the same client , it is not at all setting the value.

please let me know how to rectify it .

Thanks in advance.

Roby,

Does this field has parameter id?

Could you check by pressing F1 & F9, can see parameter id value there.

Could you tell the field name?

What i understand is that you are setting the value of Controlling area by running the program using your user id and then you are trying to see whether the value that you had set is available in SAP memory by logging onto a different userid.Well,my friend if this is what you are doing then this is what is happening.

1 ... You logging onto the SAP system and setting the value will remain in SAP memory as long as your userid is still active. i.e. if you log off from your used if the memory area that you have set is going to be cleared be it SAP memory or ABAP memory.

2. Check the same by logging on to the two userid's at the same time and try to access the global value in either of the sessions.If it's a parameter ID then u will definitely be able to see it in both the userid's.

Check for one more thing.See if you have put any conditional check in your program to set the parameter ID.

Check parameters in ur user profile, if the parameter ur trying to set is there, and it's not in the other user's profile, add it and execute the program, see if it works..
