Reg: Import /Export and Set/Get parameters

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can you help me with specific scenarios/examples where we can use only

1) import and export parameters

2) and another where we can use set and get

Hi,

go through this....

we used get and set for SAP memory....

The SAP Memory is a user-specific memory area of the current application server, which is accessed by all main sessions of a user session at once. ABAP programs have access to SPA/GPA parameters stored in the SAP Memory (also called SET/GET parameters

when we make pur report to interactive one.....

FORM zf_sublist USING ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm

sobj TYPE slis_selfield. "#EC CALLED

DATA : lv_vbeln TYPE vbeln.

IF sobj-fieldname = 'VBELN'.

lv_vbeln = sobj-value.

IF lv_vbeln > 0.

SET PARAMETER ID 'VF' FIELD lv_vbeln.

CALL TRANSACTION 'VF03' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

ENDFORM.

Hi,

If u want to use EXPORT and SUBMIT in the first report, ur internal table data will be first moved to Mem ID and after SUBMIT, it will go to the 2nd report and execution happens in report 2. There if u use IMPORT, the internal table data will be used there and the control will be back to ur report1.

So, the output of Report 2 will be written at first as a result of ur import in report 2. Then the content of report 1 will be wrtten in output.

See this..

Report 1:

report zscr_navigate.

data: a type i value 10,

b type string,

c type string.

data: int_tab type standard table of zprod with header line.

select * from zprod into table int_tab.

export int_tab to memory id 'TEST'.

submit zscr_navigate1 and return.

write / 'back to main'.

Report 2

REPORT ZSCR_NAVIGATE1.

DATA : b TYPE string VALUE 'hello'.

DATA : int_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF zprod,

fs TYPE zprod.

WRITE / b.

IMPORT int_tab FROM MEMORY ID 'TEST'.

CLEAR fs.

LOOP at int_tab INTO fs.

WRITE / fs.

clear fs.

ENDLOOP.

Hope it helps u..

Hi,

In EXPORT_PROGRAM1 porgarm p_num value is exported to memory id 'ABC'.

And the IMPORT_PROGRAM1 program is importing p_num from memory id 'ABC'.

REPORT   EXPORT_PROGRAM1                  .
parameters:
   p_num(3) type c  .

   export p_num to memory id 'ABC'.

  WRITE : / P_NUM.

  SUBMIT  IMPORT_PROGRAM1 AND RETURN.

  WRITE : 'EXPORT _PROGRAM',P_NUM.

REPORT   IMPORT_PROGRAM1                  .
data:
  P_NUM(3) type c.
 
  import P_NUM from memory  ID 'ABC'.

  WRITE : P_NUM.

Example for SET and GET.

In SET_PROGRAM1 program 'XYZ' is the parameter id for p_num.

In the gET_PROGRAM1 program p_num value is retrieved from memory Id using GET .

REPORT  SET_PROGRAM1                    .

data:
  p_num type sy-datum.

  p_num = sy-datum.

  set parameter id 'XYZ' field p_num.

  submit get_program1 and return .

  write : p_num .

REPORT  GET_PROGRAM1                     .
data:
  p_num1   type sy-uzeit.


  get parameter id 'XYZ'    field p_num1.

  write : / p_num1.

In both examples from one programs, In one program the value of p_num is exported to memory id and the second program is importing it from the memory.

IMPORT, EXPORT are used to retrieve or pass data within the ABAP memory. i.e within internal sessions.

Using SET , GET are used to retrieve or pass data within SAP Memory.I.e Within the external sessions.

HI

Import and Export

IN short we use these statements to pass the data from one report to another by using ABAP memory and SAP memory

to know more about his check this link

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/d3/2e974d35c511d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

Under this goto RUNING ABBAP PROGRAMS--->CALLING PROGRAMS AND here you can fine the full details about the import and export and even SET and GET statements usage with a good examples

Hi

Please refer the following :

SAP Memory

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/4 Memory

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.

SAP memory

The SAP memory, otherwise known as the global memory, is

available to a user during the entire duration of a

terminal session. Its contents are retained across

transaction boundaries as well as external and internal

sessions. The SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements

allow you to write to, or read from, the SAP memory.

ABAP/4 memory

The contents of the ABAP/4 memory are retained only during

the lifetime of an external session (see also Organization

of Modularization Units). You can retain or pass data

across internal sessions. The EXPORT TO MEMORY and IMPORT

FROM MEMORY statements allow you to write data to, or read

data from, the ABAP memory.

reward points if use ful.

hi,

We can use SET and GET parameters to put the values in the SAP memory. SAP memeory is a User specific memory, a user can access this memory as long as he logs on to the system.

IMPORT and EXPORT parameter are used to put the ABAP Memory values.

ABAP Memory is a session specific memeory and avaliable to only that period during which a session is active.

Hope this will Help.

Reward if helpful.

hiiii

we use SET GET parameter id to set values & to read values from particular parameter id..

refer following link

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/db9e0435c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm

you can use in the program like

GET CURSOR FIELD fs_kna1-vbeln
      VALUE w_vbeln.

      CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
        EXPORTING
          input  = w_vbeln
        IMPORTING
          output = w_vbeln.

      SELECT SINGLE vbeln
      FROM vbak
      INTO w_vbak
      WHERE vbeln = w_vbeln.

      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
       MESSAGE e015(zmsg9).
      ENDIF.

      SET PARAMETER ID 'AUN' FIELD w_vbeln.
      CALL TRANSACTION 'VA03' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.

for import & export statement refer to following link with example in it

Hi,

Suppose you want to Pass value in Between two Internal Session The you should use ABAP Memory that is shared by the internal session of same External Session.

In That case you should use EXPORT AND IMPORT options.

But when you want to pass values between two program that are opened in Internal Session Of Two Different External Session.

Then you use SAP Memory Shared By Different External Session.

In That case go for SET And GET PARAMETERS.
