Definition
Import
Import parameters contain fields or field strings which are passed when calling up the function module program. The transfer of import parameters is carried out either "by reference" or "by value", that is, a copy of the field contents is transferred. Import parameters must always be supplied with values when starting the program. The corresponding current parameters may only be missing when transferring if a default value exists or the import parameter is marked as optional.
Export
Export parameters contain fields or field strings which are transferred when leaving a function module and returning to the parent program.
The transfer of export parameters is carried out either "by reference" or "by value", that is, a copy of the field contents is transferred. For export parameters, the specification of current parameters is optional.
Table
Table parameters contain tables which are transferred to the function module. Tables are always transferred "by reference" unlike import and export parameters.
Exception
Name of an exceptional situation which can occur at the runtime of the function module. The name of an exception can be up to 30 characters long.
