SET

Basic form 5

SET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f.

Effect

Writes the contents of the field f to the global SAP memory under the key pid . If the key already contains a value, it is overwritten.

The key pid must consist of three characters. You can find a list of the keys (parameters) used in the SAP system description or in the ABAP/4 Development Workbench.

Notes

The global SAP memory remains available to the user during the entire terminal session. This means that set values are retained when you leave a program.

You should not use the SAP memory for temporary storage of values because other modes use the same global memory.

If you need a new key (parameter), you can create this in the ABAP/4 Development Workbench.

Example


DATA: REPID(8) VALUE 'RFSCHU01'.
SET PARAMETER ID 'RID' FIELD REPID.

Sets the program name, e.g. for transfer to another program.
