Export statement in user-exit??

Question

I have used the following export statement in a user-exit:"EXPORT xaccit TO MEMORY ID 'ZCACHEPPA'."-I have doubt that - will this statement export the contents of the table XACCIT to memory and those contents in the memory will be imported by the IMPORT statement in other user-exit.....??
If no,then which EXPORT/IMPORT statement should be used....is there any other keyword that can be used to export the contents to the memory?

Hi
See the doc related to SAP Memory and ABAP memory
SAP memory is a memory area to which all main sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program using the SET PARAMETER statement. Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement. The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens
SAP global memory retains field value through out session.
set parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.
get parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.
They are stored in table TPARA.
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data
to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.
ABAP memory is temporary and values are retained in same LUW.
export itab to memory id 'TEST'.
import itab from memory Id 'TEST'.
Here itab should be declared of same type and length.
