Hi,

SAP memory is a memory area to which all main sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program using the SET PARAMETER statement. Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement. The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens

ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data

to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.

Hi gangaraju,

<b>

Sorry I din't see the above post...</b>

I have thrown some more on this SAP memory and ABAP memory.

SAP memory is b/w session....

ABAP memory is b/w internal sessions of the SAME session

<b>

In brief and Very Clear :</b>

<b>Data Clusters in ABAP Memory:</b>

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3bc4358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

<b>

Passing Data Between Programs:</b>

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/db9df735c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

The second link contains the definitions of SAP Memory and ABAP Memory along with the key words used to work with both. Any use of the key words shown in the help topics (either link above) would be an example of how to use them.
