Types Of Memory

• Sap memory/shared memory


• User memory
• Abap memory

2. User memory

User Memory is the memory that is allocated for each user who is logged in. A user session is
assigned its own memory area of the user memory, in which SPA/GPA parameters can be
stored.SPA/GPA parameters are set using SET PARAMETER and read using GET
PARAMETER.

3. Abap memory
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session
can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements.
External session: - when user logs on to R/3 system, the system Creates a new terminal session called
external session. E.g. System Session.
Internal session: - created by calling a transaction (with CALL TRANSACTION), a dialog module (with
CALL DIALOG) or a report (with SUBMIT or RETURN).

SUBMIT Keyword

SUBMIT is a keyword which is used to call a executable program (ABAP program) from another
program.

EXPORT is a keyword which is used to export a value to a memory id.

IMPORT is a keyword which is used to import a value from a memory id .

DATA : T2 TYPE CHAR20.
IMPORT TEXT1 TO T1 FROM MEMORY ID 'MEM'.
IMPORT TEXT2 TO T2 FROM MEMORY ID 'MEM'.
WRITE :/ T1.
WRITE :/ T2.

4. SAP MEMORY

o SAP memory is global memory, all SAP GUI sessions have access.

o SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data
from one session to another.

o Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also
known as SET/GET parameters).

o These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program using the
SET PARAMETER statement.

o Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER
statement.

EXAMPLE:
DATA TEXT1(30) TYPE C VALUE 'SET AND GET PARAMETER'.
SET PARAMETER ID 'MEM' FIELD TEXT1.

WRITE : 'SET PARAMETER'.


*************************************************
REPORT YSP_0139 .
DATA TEXT2(30) TYPE C .
GET PARAMETER ID 'MEM' FIELD TEXT2.
WRITE : / TEXT2.
WRITE : 'GET PARAMETER'.
