Exporting data to structure in export parameter

[former_member778328]

Hi experts,

I am new to ABAP programming and want to understand about export parameter.

I am querying a table and trying to output it to export parameter.

The export parameter is a structure which has one component of table type.

Read some articles which mentions use of append for output but they were basically for output tables.

I am trying to select data from any table

      SELECT (FIELDS)
        INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <RECORDS>
        FROM (TABLES)
        UP TO <ROWS> ROWS
        WHERE (WHERECOND)
        ORDER BY PRIMARY KEY.

I want to output this result in export which is a structure

Tried to search but did not find anything helpful online. Any help is appreciated.

Could you explain the context ? What did you try to do ? What is your export method ? Class / Odata / RFC / .....

Could you post your SELECT statement?

I don't understand why you say it's an issue with "export parameter", it seems to me that it's an issue about how to fill a table type component.

structure-table_type_component = VALUE #( ( comp1 = 'line1 comp1' ) ( comp1 = 'line2 comp1' ) ). 

Please clarify your question.

Hi gianni.aiello

I assume you are trying to export the result data records to a memory variable. If that is so, here is the way.

DATA export_data type standard table of mast,
     import_data  type standard table of mast.

      SELECT matnr , werks, stlnr
        INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE export_data
        FROM mast
        UP TO 5 ROWS.

To Export to memory

EXPORT export_data TO MEMORY ID 'CTAB'.

To Import back in another program

IMPORT export_data TO import_data FROM MEMORY ID 'CTAB'.

Regards,

Venkat

Hi gianni.aiello

Is this works for you?

Thank you venkateswaran.k

I have not tried this code yet.

I am not trying to pass data from one FM to another but trying to export data such that it can be used by any calling program and not necessarily another FM.

[venkateswaran_k]

Yes, the code I have written is of same scenario.

I was export that into a memory variable in one called program, and retrieve the same back in a another program that called the previous program.
