exchanging values between programs...

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a screen where the user selects a value. I want to insert that into a table in a BADI method.

I try to do the following:

EXPORT TTXJ-TXJCD TO MEMORY.

when i check for syntax i get a warning message

"the EXPORT statement without ID specification exists only for the sake of compatibility with R/2. It should not be used because of unforeseeable effect"

In my BADI's POST_DOCUMENT method, I use

DATA TXJ TYPE C.

IMPORT TXJ FROM MEMORY.

When i do syntax check, i get the same message but it is shown as an error now !!

What is wrong ??

My requirement is to exchange the selected value. Is there anyother way it could be done ??

thanks

Hi ,

try to use

EXPORT TTXJ-TXJCD TO MEMORY ID 'ZTXJCD'.
IMPORT TTXJ-TXJCD FROM MEMORY ID 'ZTXJCD'.

Here the ID 'ZTXJCD' is arbitrary, but have to be the same in import end export

Regards, Manuel

In ABAP Objects, the syntax is more strict. You need to write it like this.

EXPORT 
    TTXJ-TXJCD = TTXJ-TXJCD
             TO MEMORY ID 'ZTXJCD'.


IMPORT
    TTXJ-TXJCD = TTXJ-TXJCD
             FROM MEMORY ID 'ZTXJCD'.

Thanks Manuel. The Export statement did work, but import failed !!!

For that I typed

DATA TXJ TYPE C.

IMPORT TTXJ-TXJCD to TXJ FROM MEMORY ID 'ZTXJCD'.

no errors as of now...let me check if this works as desired...

thanks..

DATA TXJ TYPE <b>TTXJ-TXJCD</b>.
IMPORT TTXJ-TXJCD to TXJ FROM MEMORY ID 'ZTXJCD'.

Please make certain that the types or data delaration is the same on both sides, EXPORT side and IMPORT SIDE.

Hi,

In ABAP objects you have to EXPORT/IMPORT paramenters with reference to a ID.

USe like

EXPORT ZZRESWK FROM ZZRESWK TO MEMORY ID 'ZPDT1'.

IMPORT ZZRESWK TO ZZRESWK FROM MEMORY ID 'ZPDT1'.

Hope this will help.

Hi,

While exporting and importing we need to specify the ID, so that the values will be stored with that ID.

You can do that by

EXPORT TTXJ-TXJCD TO MEMORY ID 'ZTXJCD'.

Then you can import it by

IMPORT TTXJ-TXJCD FROM MEMORY ID 'ZTXJCD'.

While importing or exporting make sure that the particular variable is visible in that routine. Otherwise you can use a different variables to hold these values.

DATA: V_TXJCD LIKE TTXJ-TXJCD.

IMPORT TTXJ-TXJCD TO V_TXJCD FROM MEMORY ID 'ZTXJCD'.

Thanks
