Passing table data from one BSP page to another

[Former Member]

Hello, can anyone explain to me or give me an example of how to pass internal table data from one BSP page to another. I can do this easily with a single field by setting the Page Attribute to Automatic and using the following command: "navigation->set_parameter( 'fieldx' )." At this point "fieldx" is available to the next page as long as I have "fieldx" defined as Page Attribute on that page. But I cannot seem to find a way to do this with a internal table.

Hi,

The best way is to store your tables within cookies.

Check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/2a/31b97b35a111d5992100508b6b8b11/frameset.htm

for all details on how to set and retrieve them.

Use the application class to do data transfer between two pages of BSP. This gives lot of advantage as u can exactly assign and re-call the table u need in between the pages.

No inpact on performance (as such) and URL length.

Hope it help.

Hi Troy,

For passing an internal table from from one BSP page to other you can find an example in BSP application IT00 on page transition_parameter.htm.

But there are restrictions regarding the URL length during the redirect, since the whole table is transferred as a URL parameter. It can be solved in two ways:

Use server-side cookies because the tables are not sent to the browser in this case

or

Use navigation->use_auto_submit_form( ). This forwards the parameters in the body of a form, and the request is executed using POST and not using GET.

Thanks
