Where are memory Keys Defined?

[Former Member]

I have one in an SAP Function Module whose storage space needs to be increased.

It imports the parameter 'memory_key' . Its value is

'DEF_OTF_MEMORY_KEY'.

FUNCTION READ_OTF_FROM_MEMORY.

*"----

""Lokale Schnittstelle:

*" IMPORTING

*" MEMORY_KEY DEFAULT 'DEF_OTF_MEMORY_KEY'

*" TABLES

*" OTF STRUCTURE ITCOO

*" EXCEPTIONS

*" MEMORY_EMPTY

*"----

DATA: MEMKEY(32). "max len of memory id is 32

MEMKEY = MEMORY_KEY.

IMPORT OTF FROM MEMORY ID MEMKEY.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

RAISE MEMORY_EMPTY.

ENDIF.

ENDFUNCTION.

Hello,

You can define it in the data element (tab Futher Characteristics Parameter ID) or in the screen (screen painter -> layout Param ID or selection screen PARAMETERS... MEMORY ID).

Tom, this memory ids are not real objects in the system, but simply pointers, so the object 'DEF_OTF_MEMORY_KEY' does not actual exist, therefore there is nothing to change. You can not change the allocation of memory to specifc ids, rather the memory area as a whole, and I believe this is a profile parameter which is set by your basis people.
