what is sy-repid?

[Former Member]

what is sy-repid? Is it predefined constant in ABAP? How can i search for predefined constants?

[Former Member]

it is a system variable which will hold the value of report name

create a program

report test.

write : sy-repid.

you can find all these variable in table <b>SYST</b>

[Sandra_Rossi]

No more a "variable": it's a constant in every program since ABAP 6.10 (~2001), as said in the official documentation https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_753_index_htm/7.53/en-US/index.htm?file=abennews-610-system.htm#&a...:

The system field sy-repid is no longer a component of the structure SY in the ABAP program or the 
structured type SYST in ABAP Dictionary. Instead, from Release 6.10, every program contains the 
predefined constants sy-repid and syst-repid, which both contain the name of the current program. 
There are also two predefined types sy-repid and syst-repid. The obsolete type references 
LIKE syst-repid and TYPE sy-repid are, therefore, still possible.

Hi ajay,

sy-repid is a system variable that stores the current program name. all the system variables can be found in the table 'SYST'(tcode se11->SYST) these variables hold the values at runtime.

Thanks but i was confused because when i doubleclick the sy-repid, its showing its a predefined constant instead of gng to the syst structure.

[suresh_datti]

What version are you on? I guess since 47 & upward REPID is no longer part of the SYST structure.

Hi ajay,

sy-repid [system report identifier] is a system variable from which you can find your report program name.

[Former Member]

hi abay,

sy-repid is a system field which contains the current report prg name.

u can obtain all system fields in SYST structure.

goto SE!11 -> in tables -> SYST -> display

then u ll get all system fields in that.

if helpful reward some points.

Sy-Repid is a system field which returns the current program....

[ferry_lianto]

Hi,

SY-REPID

Name of the current ABAP program. For externally-called procedures, it is the name of the main program of the procedure. If you pass SY-REPID as an actual parameter to an external procedure, the formal parameter does not contain the name of the caller, but that of the main program of the procedure. To avoid this, assign SY-REPID to an auxiliary variable and use that in the call, or use the system field SY-CPROG.

For more information, please check this link.

Hi ,

<u><b>sy-repid</b></u> stores the Name of the current ABAP program. For procedures called externally, name of the framework program of the procedure. <u><b>sy-repid</b></u> when transferring actual parameters to an external procedure, before release 6.10, the formal parameter was not set to the name of the caller, but to the name of the procedure instead. As of release 6.10, sy-repid can be transferred to procedures without help fields.

Hope this may help...

Thanks & Regards

Hi Ajay

Sy-repid is nothing but the system variable to return the report name..

This variable is often used to generate ALV Reports...

If you wanna see all system variable just Goto SE11 and type SYST as table name you will get all the system variables available...

REWARD IT IF USEFUL....!!!
