changing data in called program

Former Member — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 11:38:15 GMT

Hi Gurus,

I have an exit where I want to change the main program's internal table data dynamically in this exit FM.

In short, I want to change the internal table data in calling program being in called FM.

Can this be done? If so how?

You can change the data in a field in a program using field-symbols. The field-symbols acts as a pointer to a defined field. Change the field-symbol value will in turn change the value of the field. You can also assign the value of a field from a different program ( at runtime ) to a field symbol. But I beleive that in this circumstance changing the field-symbol will not change the actual field value.

I had this same problem myself.

hai

u can use Extenal subroutine to change the internal table in FM.

before that there must be a internal table defined in the fm.

Yes, we can access the data of different programs using field-symbols, but now I need to update the internal table records being in called program

I dont have any subroutine to run from FM, I have the internal table name and main program name.

Can I change the internal table data from the user exit function module?
