Hi ,

My requirement is that I need to have a filed COUNT which will have initial

value as 1 and it will be incremented for each record.

Suppose the end value for the first program run is 102.

Now I close the Session and open new session then the field count should start

counting from 103.

Using SET/GET parameter and EXPORT/IMPORT memory id doesnot work as the

memory value gets lost when we close the session.

what u can do is use some ztable which has a counter field or else create a z-table with counter as field. at end of the session update this table with the counter.

write a select statement to fetch the values and check the maximum value by sorting and use it when ever required.

As we know SAP works on appln server, so there is no concept of permant storage.

SAP processes data per session & finally updates the DB.

So you can store in custom ztable, & get it once you login back

Is this a continuously running number, indefinintly? If so, you should use a number range. Create the range in transaction SNRO, create the interval for your range(00001 to 99999), Then in your program simply use the funciton module NUMBER_GET_NEXT to get the next avaible number. The running number will always be updated in the database table NRIV.

No need to create a custom table to keep track of your number.
