Scope of GET PARAMETER

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created a SET/GET parameter the value of which comes from the user profile in transaction SU3. In the code, using GET PARAMETER, I fetch the value of this parameter into the attribute of a public class and then based on the value in this attribute execute the appropriate code.

I want to know what is the scope of the GET PARAMETER statement. If I am fetching the parameter value using GET PARAMETER and putting it into a class attribute in a particular Function Group, would it be available in other Function Groups also?

Please help.

Thank you.

Parameter IDs are specific to an individual user and are retained throughout the login.

<i>available to any programs and any sessions throughout the whole duration of a user session</i> - from the ABAP help on SAP memory.

Hence your parameter id is available in all your programs, function modules and classes.

Hi Matthew,

I think what you are saying is absolutely correct provided I fetch the value of the parameter in my code using GET PARAMETER statement. In my case, I have written the GET PARAMTER statement in one Function Group (let's say A) to transer the value of that PARAMETER ID into the attribute of a public Class. Once this is done, check is performed on the value on this attribute and execute the code appropriately.

Now, my question is will the value I captured in the Class attribute in Function Group A remain visible in other Function Groups also?

Thank you.

hi

For the statements GET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f and GET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f,

f must be character-type. You can use the EXPORT and IMPORT statements for storing

non-character-type fields and structures.
