Data exchange between dialog and update processes

Former Member — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 14:56:02 GMT

Dear experts,

I need to send some data from the dialog to the update work process. Is this possible? If so, how? Will e.g. 'export to memory id'/'import from memory id' work in this case?

Thank you!

Alexander.

No. The "ABAP memory" is only shared between internal sessions, inside one external session (cf ABAP documentation - Memory organization). Use CALL FUNCTION ... IN UPDATE TASK to transmit the data to the update task.

Well, EXPORT TO MEMORY ID shares the data among internal sessions but you can make use of EXPORT TO DATABASE ID to send the data from the dialog to the update work process if absolutely necessary.
