Access posibility for EXPORT statements

[Former Member]

hi Experts,

I use EXPORT variable to MEMORY ID 'XXX' in Program ztest. And in the program, I call a FM ZFM in BACKGROUND TASK. In the FM ZFM, I use IMPORT statement to receive the variable. But it seems I can not get the value. Since I can not debug FM executed in BACKGROUND TASK, I can just judge by the result.

Here is the question, what is the access posibility of EXPORT statement. If I want to access the variable, should I use some other ways? Such as EXPORT to database? But I am not very familiar with this command and the cluster tables. Can anyone give me some advice?

thanks in advance.

export to memory exports to ABAP memory. If your other program is done in background task this is a new mode/task and ABAP memory is not able to handle this as it is mode based. you should make use of the SAP memory which works over mode/taskboundaries.

thanks Florian. So it means I can not access the calling program's memory id in my background task FM? Is there anyway to do this?

Hi,

If the data that you need exported is a single field value, then you can use create a parameter ID and use "SET/GET PARAMETER ID". If it is more than a data field, you can use Export to database/shared buffer, please go through the below link.

Thanks Chen, I have implemented the EXPORT TO DATABASE. I found all the examples using table ID indx to store the data, is this table a default table for the EXPORT to database table?
