Text Memory and CALL Mode

The text memory is part of the ABAP memory. As a result, it is not lost when the application program calls a transaction in call mode (CALL TRANSACTION, SUBMIT AND RETURN or CALL DIALOG). The same is true for reports or dialog modules, but not for transactions. This means that all programs called by the application program in this CALL hierarchy use the same text memory and can therefore access the same texts.

If one of these called programs executes a COMMIT_TEXT, the system transfers all texts to the update task, even those texts that do not belong to that particular program. In such a case, you can use the parameters OBJECT, NAME, ID, and LANGUAGE to specify exactly the texts you want to transfer. You can also use generic names. All other texts, which do not match the selection criteria, remain unchanged in the text memory. If they are changed, you must use other COMMIT_TEXT calls to pass them to the update task.
