Syntax

EXPORT { {p1 = dobj1 p2 = dobj2 ...} 
       | {p1 FROM dobj1 p2 FROM dobj2 ...} 

       | (ptab) } 
    TO { { DATA BUFFER xstr } 

       | { INTERNAL TABLE itab } 
       | { MEMORY ID id } 

       | { DATABASE      dbtab(ar) [FROM wa] [CLIENT cl] ID id } 

       | { SHARED MEMORY dbtab(ar) [FROM wa] [CLIENT cl] ID id } 
       | { SHARED BUFFER dbtab(ar) [FROM wa] [CLIENT cl] ID id } } 

       [ COMPRESSION { ON | OFF } ]. 

Effect

Stores data object dobj1, dobj2, ... in a data cluster.

Additions

• {p1 = dobj1 p2 = dobj2 ...}|{p1 FROM dobj1 p2 FROM dobj2 ...}|(ptab)
  Defines the data cluster through static specification of single parameters through p1 = dobj1 p2 = dobj2 ... resp. p1 FROM dobj1 p2 FROM dobj2 ...,or dynamic specification in an internal table ptab.
• DATA BUFFER xstr
  Stores the data cluster as sequence of bytes in xstr.
• INTERNAL TABLE itab
  Stores the data cluster in an internal table itab.
• MEMORY
  Stores the data cluster in the
  ABAP Memory.
  
• DATABASE dbtab(ar) [CLIENT cl]
  Stores the data cluster in a database table dbtab in the area ar under the client identifier cl.
• {SHARED MEMORY}|{SHARED BUFFER} dbtab(ar) [CLIENT cl]
  Stores the data cluster in an application buffer in the shared memory of the application server, which is addressed through the name of a database table dbtab to an area ar and a client identifier cl. Both alternative options use a different displacement mechanism.
• ID id
  Specifies the identifier of the data cluster in id.
• FROM wa
  Specifies a work area wa to store information about the data cluster.
• COMPRESSION { ON | OFF }
  Specifies whether or not the data cluster is stored in a compressed form.
