After you import SAP functions, you can view the function parameters in the SAP Functions dialog box in the Source Analyzer. The parameters of the SAP function are read only. When you insert an SAP function into the ABAP program flow, you assign values or variables to the parameters.
Each SAP function has the following types of parameters:
Scalar Input parameters.
Input values to the SAP function. The ABAP program generates code to pass scalar input values to the SAP function.
Scalar Output parameters.
Output values from the SAP function. The SAP function returns function outputs in the scalar output parameters. The ABAP program generates code to receive scalar output values from the SAP function.
Changing parameters.
SAP function parameters that can require both input and output values. For example, an SAP function may use a scalar input parameter, modify it, and return the modified value as a scalar output parameter.
Table parameters.
SAP function parameters that are SAP structures. Table parameters have more than one row.
