Hello,

Without knowing where this code come from, I fear nobody can help you.

DATA s_NAME TYPE string VALUE 'HOMESHARE'.

This line just means "There is now a variable named S_NAME containing the value 'HOMESHARE'. But maybe this variable is not used after that. Or maybe the line just after change the value for 'GORATRIX'.

You have to explain a lot more what you are trying to do or understand. For example you say "previously it was taking" but what is "IT"? And what is the program containing this line?

Best regards
