Parameter ID in Data Element

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I wrote the code like this.

********Report1***************

REPORT ZTEST_DO_DE_1.

Data: lname type zchar12_de.

lname = 'Seshu'.

submit ztest_do_de_2.

***************Report2************************

REPORT ZTEST_DO_DE_2.

PARAMETERS: myName type zchar12_de.

write:/ myName.

In this example, zchar12_de is a data element and has parameter id 'ZTEST' in further characteristics tab. So when Report2 was called, it should display the name 'Seshu' in selection screen, but not. Can you please tell me why?

Regards,
Seshu

Hi,

have a look to the abap statement :  SET PARAMETER ID  /   GET PARAMETER ID

Hi Frédéric,

Yes. we can achieve it through SET PARAMETER ID / GET PARAMETER ID. But I want to know the use of Parameter ID option in Data Element. Thank You for reply.

And ?  did you expect SAP will do it without this statement ?

It's not because a data element is link with a parameter ID, than that will work. For example, WERKS_D is link with the parameter ID WRK. But if you forget to specify the GET, it will not work (it appends a lot of time in standard program).

but maybe you would like to speak about the additionnal parameters : MEMORY ID ??

When you create a screen dynpro, and add such a field, if you set the Dictionary Attributes box, the parameter id will be adopted by the dynpro, so you will get implicit GET/SET PARAMETER ID executed in PBO and PAI. (Filling an Initial Screen Using SPA/GPA Parameters )

Set parameter ID, saves the value, Get paramter ID retrieves, in case of having a data element, it saves you from 'Get parameter id' statement, but you still need to SET, hope it clarifies

hi,

the correct method is SET/GET PARAMETER.

Example is as follows:

REPORT  ZTEST_DO_DE_1.

Data: lname type ZCHAR12_DE.
lname = 'Seshus'.
SET PARAMETER ID 'myName' FIELD lname.
submit ztest_do_de_2.

EPORT  ZTEST_DO_DE_2.

PARAMETERS: myName type ZCHAR12_DE.

GET PARAMETER ID 'myName' FIELD myName.
write:/ myName.

Hi abdul,

This code works even if we don't specify the parameter ID in data element. Then what is the use of specifying Parameter ID in data element??

Since you've specified parameter ID in data element, you wont need to use Get parameter to retrieve & repopulate.
