Hi,

May I know what is the difference between sap memory & abap memory.Illustrate this with an example program.Thanx

HI,

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 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

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 (see

below).

<u><b>ABAP Memory</b></u>

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. For further information, refer to Data Clusters in ABAP Memory.

Hi,

A. SAP Memory is a memory area in the internal session (roll area) of an ABAP program. Data within this area is retained within a sequence of program calls, allowing you to pass data between programs that call one another. It is also possible to pass data between sessions using SAP Memory.

B. ABAP Memory is a memory area to which all sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session (as with ABAP memory) or to pass data from one session to another.

C.ABAP Memory is a memory area in the internal session (roll area) of an ABAP program. Data within this area is retained within a sequence of program calls, allowing you to pass data between programs that call one another. It is also possible to pass data between sessions using SAP Memory.

D.SAP Memory is a memory area to which all sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session (as with ABAP memory) or to pass data from one session to another.

Hope it is useful.

Thanks,

Sandeep.

<b>ABAP/4 Memory</b>

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.

<b>SAP memory </b>

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.

<b>ABAP/4 memory </b>

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.

<b>This code is from which program you want to export to the ABAP memory:</b>

export ist_resb to memory id 'ZPPC0122_FD'.

where ist_resb is the internal table name &

ZPPC0122_FD is the include name of my program ZPPC0122.

This code is from which program you want to import from the ABAP memory

import *ist_resb *= ist_resb from memory id 'ZPPC0122_FD'.

where ist_resb This internal table is the importing program internal table.

ist_resb This internal table is the exporting program internal table.

But remember in both the program you have defined the same internal table with same structure

Nowadays Export & Import statement is OBSOLETE it gives SLIN CHECK ERROR in SAP 6.0 Version

SAP global memory retains field value through out session.

set parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.

get parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.

They are stored in table TPARA.

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

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.

ABAP memory is temporary and values are retained in same LUW.

export itab to memory id 'TEST'.

import itab from memory Id 'TEST'.

Here itab should be declared of same type and length.

go to me22 transaction and give PO number. Press enter.

Come out of the transaction.

Then go to ME23 transaction , you will see the PO number already existing.

How did the system remember the PO number?

It gets stored in SAP memory( The programs use SET parameter and GET parameter id for accessing this values).

Similarly , if you have a program A and a program B. Program A calls Program B and YOu have a variable in program A, that you want to pass to B. How do you do that?

YOu can export to a memory location which can be later imported in program. This memory which program A and program B uses is called ABAP memory.
