Former Member — Thu, 18 May 2006 14:04:45 GMT

Hi All,

I am unclear about the import and export parameters, when i create a function module. Can anyone explain abt this. However when i call the function module in any program the import parameters in Function module are displayed as exporting in program amd the export parameters as importing.

Any help on this would be appericiated.

Hi Shejal,

The importing parameters are which u pass to FM and export param are which u return from FM.

Now while calling FM from a program, it displayed as reverse.

The import param of FM are displayed as export which we need to export to FM. And the export param of FM are displayed as import which we import to program from FM.

Rgds,

HI,

Import parameter in FM is the value u provide to FM for processing.

export is the value u get from FM after processing.

when u call a FM in a progam the import parameter will appear as Export bcos u r giving value to the FM.

and u r getting value from FM in import parameter(bcos u r importing).

rgds,

Newbie question !

from function point of view, import parameters are coming from outside, and export parameters are sent to outside

from calling program it is reverse (obviously) that's why you have to export parameters that are 'IMPORTING' in function module and you get (import) parameters that are 'EXPORTING' in FM

import parameters means the fields to be displayed on the screen
