Casting problem

Former Member — Thu, 03 Jul 2014 05:49:03 GMT

Hi all!

I want to know the content of a field from another program, I have tried something like this but it doesn't work:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_wa> TYPE syucomm.

DATA: var_name(50) TYPE c.

var_name = '(PROGRAMNAME)VALUE'.

ASSIGN (var_name) TO <fs_wa>.

The program is a 'Z' program.

I have to use the code in a BADI, so passing the content is not an option.

Hi Jonas ,

Try ABAP memory concept

EXPORT TO MEMORY & IMPORT FROM MEMORY can help a lot here

Okay will have a look at it, but I prefer the way I'm trying with my code...

Have you tried using RTTI, search in SCN for cl_abap_structdescr.

Hi,

The method you are using is possible only when the data objects are in same session memory i.e ( as you said you have to write the code in the BADI ) the badi and the zprogram needs to be in the same program flow else it will not work.

Therefore, use EXPORT TO MEMORY or SET PARAMETER options.
