SPA/GPA Parameter
Also called SET/GET parameter. Data objects in the
user memory that can be accessed in
ABAP programs. SPA/GPA
parameters are set using
SET PARAMETER and read using GET PARAMETER.
Input fields on
dynpros can be associated with
SPA/GPA parameters and be given default values when the dynpro is called. Conversely, user input in
fields of this type is persisted in the associated SPA/GPA parameters. The names of SPA/GPA parameters are managed in the database table TPARA.
