EXPORT, IMPORT - no_id

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Obsolete Syntax

EXPORT parameter_list TO MEMORY [COMPRESSION {ON|OFF}].

IMPORT parameter_list FROM MEMORY [conversion_options].

Effect

If the addition ID is not specified in the statements EXPORT TO MEMORY or IMPORT FROM MEMORY, the statement EXPORT writes to an anonymous area of the ABAP memory and the statement IMPORT reads from this area.

Note

This short form is extremely error-prone and forbidden in classes, since all EXPORT statements without an ID overwrite the same data cluster.
