Hai

Check the following Code

report Zreport.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

datum type sy-datum,

end of itab.

ranges: r_datum for sy-datum.

create some data in ITAB

itab-datum = sy-datum.

do 10 times.

itab-datum = itab-datum + 1.

append itab.

enddo.

Build the range

clear r_datum. refresh r_datum.

loop at itab.

r_datum-sign = 'I'.

r_datum-option = 'EQ'.

r_datum-low = itab-datum.

append r_datum.

endloop.

submit zreport

with s_datum in r_datum

and return.

Here Zreport1 is other program

Hi!

Yes, you can use the SUBMIT TO MEMORY ID 'VARIABLE' and the IMPORT variable FROM MEMORY ID 'VARIABLE' statements.

Or you can write the data into a file on the SAP server.

Hi,

If you need to program an extensive application, one single program will become very complex. To make the program easier to read, it is often reasonable to divide the required functions among several programs.

As well as external modularization, in which you store procedures in special non-executable ABAP programs like function groups, you can also call independent programs from within an ABAP program.

The following ABAP statements allow you to start an executable program or transaction. You can either exit the calling program, or have the system return to it when the called program finishes running.

Type 1 Program

Transaction

Call (without returning)

SUBMIT

LEAVE TO TRANSACTION

Call and return

SUBMIT AND RETURN

CALL TRANSACTION

You can use these statements in any ABAP program. For example, while processing a user action in the output list of an executable program, you might call a transaction whose initial screen is filled with data from the selected list line.

An interesting remark at this point is that every time you run an executable program, a SUBMIT statement occurs. When you enter the program name in a transaction like SE38 or SA38 and choose Execute, a SUBMIT statement occurs in the transaction. It is therefore a technical attribute of a type 1 program that they are called using SUBMIT, although their principal characteristic from a user’s point of view is that they are started in the foreground.
