Updating a table used in a calling program

[mattnewell]

I am creating an internal version of the notification report program and would like to use a table created in the called program in the main program.

I generate the data in the called program and would like to "pass" the data into a holding table in the calling program.

For instance called program loads table i_hold_text, I would like to pass this to calling program ZRIPRSN00 table GT_HOLD_TEXT to use in the SAPScript. Ideas?

Sounds like you should use ABAP memory here by using EXPORT ... TO MEMORY in the called program and IMPORT ... FROM MEMORY in the calling program. Have a look at the online help for these ABAP statements.

You could use field-symbols.

like

DATA: l_text(18) VALUE '(SOURCE_PROGRAM_NAME)table_name[]'.
field-symbols <fs> type table.

Assign (ltext) to <fs>.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
"Do what you want with <fs>
endif.
