Declaring Variable to be Used in External Include

Former Member — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 19:48:50 GMT

I have declared a variable gv_weupd in SAPMV45A (include MV45ATZZ) It's based on rv02p-weupd.

DATA: gv_weupd LIKE rv02p-weupd.

I need to use this variable in USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK and in FV45KFAK_VBAK_FUELLEN.

SAPMV45A does the following: PERFORM VBAK-VBAK_FUELLEN(SAPFV45K)

How do I get gv_weupd to be visible across all this?

Thanks

Dave

Did you try declaring the variable in the include MV45ATZZ?

Yes. That's what I said in the first sentence.

"I have declared a variable gv_weupd in SAPMV45A (include MV45ATZZ)"

Hi Dave,

The definition of the variable in include MV45ATZZ should begin with ZZ.

DATA: zzgv_weupd LIKE rv02p-weupd.

Sorry Dave, my bad

I don't think declaring the variable anywhere in SAPMV45A is gonna help! (I'll rather be surprised if it does )

Anyway can you explain your requirement so that we can explore some workarounds?

BR,

Suhas

Hi,

Declare the variable in the include MV45ATOP.

Thanks & Regards,

I did try to put the data statement in MV45ATOP, but it still wasn't visible in FV45KFAK_VBAK_FUELLEN.

I think you're right, but I've only been developing in SAP for 6 months and I was hoping that someone has the best practice method of defining globals like this.

I guess another option would be to export the value to memory and import it.

Would that work?

Hi Dave

These are two different programs not sharing the same variables.

Your best bet would be the SET/GET Parameter id or Export/Import to Memory Id.

Hope this helps

Export/Import to memory ID worked.

Thanks
