Exporting/Importing More Than One Parameters To/From Memory ID
To export more than one parameters (internal table, variable, structures) to Memory ID, please use the following code:
```
EXPORT
lt_tab1 FROM lt_table1
lt_tab2 FROM lt_table2
lv_var1 FROM lv_variable1
TO MEMORY ID \'MEMORY_ID\'.
```
To import more than one parameters (internal table, variable, structures) from Memory ID, please use the following code:
```
IMPORT
lt_tab1 TO lt_table1
lt_tab2 TO lt_table2
lv_var1 TO lv_variable1
FROM MEMORY ID lc_memo_id1.
```
Please note that it is not necessary to declare \’lt_tab1, lt_tab2 and lv_var1\’, this is used just as a reference from the importing program. Using this technique, the name of the importing table does not need to have the same name of the exporting table.

Creating Routine Using VOFM in SAP
1. Go to the transaction code VOFM.

2. In the menu bar, choose between Table > Display or Table > Maintain

3. The screenshot shows an example when modifying subroutine in VOFM responsible for the Data Transfer > Billing Documents.

$\"image\"$

4. Below is a list of all the sub routines in this specific VOFM (Data Transfer > Billing Documents)

$\"image\"$

5. Here, I will modify the sub routine 913 or 917.

6. To modify a specified sub routine, double click on the sub routine to modify.

Please Note: That you will required an ACCESS KEY in order to be able to make any modifications to the routine. ACCESS KEY is independent for each sub routine.

Important: After transporting modify VOFM subroutines to other environments, please execute the program \’\’RV80HGEN\’ in SE38 to activate all subroutines. If this action is not carried out, the following exception (VOFM Error) will be raised:
```
The exception, which is assigned to class \'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FORM\', was
not caught in							
procedure \"VBRK_VBRP_DATENTRANSPORT\" \"(FORM)\", nor was it propagated by a							
RAISING clause.							
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the							
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.							
The reason for the exception is:							
The program \"SAPLV60A\" is meant to execute an external PERFORM,							
namely the routine \"DATEN_KOPIEREN_601\" of the program \"SAPFV60C\", but							
this routine does not exist.
```
Importance of field MANDT in Custom SAP Table
It is important to use the field \’MANDT\’ when creating table because all information available in the table will only available in the specify MANDT only.

But the rule specify above is not applicable for cross clients tables, that is tables where we want the content to be available in all available clients. For example, the transaction code \’FILE\’ which uses a cross client table does not need the field \’MANDT\’ because the data must be available in all the clients.

Information:

If we need to retrieve data from another MANDT, we should specified the option \’CLIENT SPECIFIED\’ in the select statement.
```
REPORT demo_client_specified.

DATA wa TYPE scarr.

DATA name(10) TYPE c VALUE \'SCARR\'.

  SELECT  *
  INTO  wa
  FROM  (name) CLIENT SPECIFIED
  WHERE mandt = \'400\'. \'We are retrieving data from the client(MANDT)\"400\".

  WRITE: / wa-carrid, wa-carrname.

ENDSELECT.
```
