IMPORT and EXPORT

[Former Member]

I need to IMPORT the date and time stamp from last run and IMPORT the the date and time stamp from the current run every time a program is executed. I am using the following command. The time stamp is not gettign transferred.

tables: indx.

DATA:last_run(14), cur_run(14).

last_run = '20070123064526'.

IMPORT last_run FROM DATABASE indx(dt) ID 'S_INNAME'.

cur_run = '20070214100123'.

EXPORT cur_run TO DATABASE indx(dt) ID 'S_INNAME'

Hi!

There is a better option to store the last run of a program - create an own Z-table in SE11, for example: ZPROGRAMRUN.

Insert some fields, like PROGRAMNAME, LAST_RUN, USER.

And in your program you have to write the coding for writing and reading data.

I think this way is much more easier to trace.

Syed,

Depending on your application purpose, the solution Tamás showed would be a better resolution to your problem. To create a table where you store the programs last run.

Hi,

You have to use the same variable name..For both IMPORT and EXPORT.

tables: indx.

DATA:last_run(14), cur_run(14).

last_run = '20070123064526'.

IMPORT last_run FROM DATABASE indx(dt) ID 'S_INNAME'.

<b>last_run</b> = '20070214100123'.

EXPORT <b>last_run</b> TO DATABASE indx(dt) ID 'S_INNAME'

Thanks,

Hi Naren,

I changed the variable to be the same name. Still it does not work.

Hi,

I tried your code..It works fine for me..

TABLES: indx.

DATA:last_run(14), cur_run(14).

last_run = '20070214100123'.

EXPORT last_run TO DATABASE indx(dt) ID 'S_INNAME'.

CLEAR last_run.

IMPORT last_run FROM DATABASE indx(dt) ID 'S_INNAME'.

WRITE: / last_run.

Thanks,

Naren
