Hi,

Can somebody explain me what are SPA/GPA parameters? Where do we use them?

Thanks,

John.

Hi,

Every time a usr is logged in, SAp reserves a specific memory area which is user-specific area which can be accessed by user sessions.

SPA/GPA are special memory parameters that an ABAp program can access and are stored in the SAP memory. They are also called SET/GET parameters. These parameters can have names up to 20 characters. In SU01, under parameters tab, you can see the user specific parameter values.

All SPA/GPA parameters are stored in table TPARA which can be maintained.

You can use them in transactions by setting the 'Parameter ID' attribute of a screen field.

Read documentation for SET or GET parameter.

Cheers,

Simha.
