will export to memory permanently store the field?

as safe/secure as the table?

No, it will only be held in memory until your program has ended.

But what is your exact requirement? What you described is not all too clear; at least not to me.

If you want to store this variable in some DB table & use this subsequently in your program you can use the table TVARVC. This table can be maintained via STVARV trxn.

Neither EXPORT TO / IMPORT FROM MEMORY nor GPA/SPA can store the data permanently. You have to use the EXPORT TO / IMPORT FROM DATABASE stmt for this. Refer: [http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPEXPORT_DATA_CLUSTER_MEDIUM.htm#!ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_4@4@]
