Does EXPORT to MEMORY ID work in background

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm exporting an internal table to a memory ID which will then be used in another program which will be called from the current program with a SUBMIT and RETURN statement.

When i use the SUBMIT online, it seems to EXPORT and IMPORT the internal table correctly.

but, when i SUBMIT to the program in background, it does not seem to do whatever i expect, which makes me think eventually there is some problem with the data I've been EXPORTing and IMPORTing.

Can anyone shed any lights on this one please?

Thanks,

Tabraiz

If the same memory space is being used, then yes. Otherwise no. If you've a late enough version, you can set an external breakpoint and check the values in memory through the debugger.

How are you SUBMITting in background?

I used the below statement:

SUBMIT zsecondprogram AND RETURN

USER sy-uname

VIA JOB gv_jobname

NUMBER gv_job_number

TO SAP-SPOOL

SPOOL PARAMETERS gs_user_print_params

ARCHIVE PARAMETERS gs_user_arc_params

WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO.

I guess i need to use a shared buffer for this.
