Import/Export statement not working..

Former Member — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 05:00:33 GMT

Hi all,

I want to export some data from BADI & Import it back in user exit.

I wrote following line of code in BADI

export P1 FROM xstr to memory id 'ZABHI'.

& following line of code in User Exit

import P1 to xstr FROM memory id 'ZABHI'.

After export sy-subrc becomes 0 hence export statement is working fine but when aftr import xstr remains blank.(sy-subrc = 4)

I tried to execute same code in single ztest abap program & it works fine there.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You could also try the EXPORT TO DATABASE statement

EXPORT pname = cname TO DATABASE indx(xy) FROM wa_indx CLIENT

sy-mandt ID 'ZABHI'.

and import from database likewise, but be sure to delete it from that location

once u've read it into the user exit.

Hi,

If the memory is cleared before the import, then it can be blank.

Thanks Samson,

That solved the problem. May I know why the earlier statement was not working?

Also please tell me how do I delete it form database? and why do we need to delete it.

hi abhijeet,

you are most welcome....

to delete, use

** deletes the data to save wastage of memory
delete from database indx(xy)
  client sy-mandt
  id 'ZABHI'.

you need to delete it coz, its available to all programs in the R/3

server via the ID and you don't want anybody to view the data u are

sending into memory.

the statement that u used earlier was program specific and hence

not accessible to the user exit.
