PARAMETERS IN METHOD -OOABAP

Goto SE24->Create a class.

Click on method tab-> create method then inside the method by default level is Instance method and
visibility is Private.

Click on Parameters tab-> Give parameter name ->Click types(Importing, Exporting, Changing, Returnig)

IMPORTING:

IMPORTING defines input parameters

Transfer a value from the outside the class(caller) to method by passing an actual parameter.

EXPORTING:

EXPORTING defines output parameters

It Passes values from method to caller.

CHANGING:

CHANGING defines input/output parameters. 

When the method is called, an appropriate actual parameter must be specified for every non-optional
input/output parameter.

EXAMPLE PROGRAM FOR IMPORTING, EXPORTING AND CHANGING PARAMETER IN METHOD:
