Declaring Variable to be Used in External Include

[Former Member]

I have declared a variable gv_weupd in SAPMV45A (include MV45ATZZ) It's based on rv02p-weupd.

   DATA: gv_weupd  LIKE rv02p-weupd.

I need to use this variable in USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK and in FV45KFAK_VBAK_FUELLEN.

SAPMV45A does the following: PERFORM VBAK-VBAK_FUELLEN(SAPFV45K)

How do I get gv_weupd to be visible across all this?

Thanks

Dave

Did you try declaring the variable in the include MV45ATZZ?

Yes. That's what I said in the first sentence.

"I have declared a variable gv_weupd in SAPMV45A (include MV45ATZZ)"

Hi Dave,

The definition of the variable in include MV45ATZZ should begin with ZZ.

DATA: zzgv_weupd  LIKE rv02p-weupd.

Sorry Dave, my bad

I don't think declaring the variable anywhere in SAPMV45A is gonna help! (I'll rather be surprised if it does )

Anyway can you explain your requirement so that we can explore some workarounds?

I think you're right, but I've only been developing in SAP for 6 months and I was hoping that someone has the best practice method of defining globals like this.

I guess another option would be to export the value to memory and import it.

Would that work?

Hi,

Declare the variable in the include MV45ATOP.

I did try to put the data statement in MV45ATOP, but it still wasn't visible in FV45KFAK_VBAK_FUELLEN.

Hi Dave

These are two different programs not sharing the same variables.

Your best bet would be the SET/GET Parameter id or Export/Import to Memory Id.

Hope this helps

Export/Import to memory ID worked.

Thanks
