Hi,

Can anyone explain me why I can't use reference variables inside a remote Function Module.

How can then create a dynamic table.

And how can I return back a dynamic table?

Thanks.

Passing by reference requires that both caller and callee can access a common memory area. This is not applicable during a remote function call, where caller and callee are in separate systems. Thus, only passing by value is supported.

Thanks Thomas.

Ok, in general we can't use a reference variable because both application or systems are on separate adress-spaces, therefore it's not possible.

If the kernel was designed for that it could be possible, am I right?
