TYPES: BEGIN OF ITAB,
      MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR,
      MATKL TYPE MARA-MATKL,
      END OF ITAB.

Hi friend,
When u use 'Export' and 'Import' statements, it refers local sap memory.
So u need to use SUBMIT ZIMPORT_TEST AND RETURN  statement immediately after 'Export'.
i.e.
Report ZEXPORT_TEST.
EXPORT IT TO MEMORY ID 'EAI1'.   < -
Exported to common local sap memory
SUBMIT ZIMPORT_TEST AND RETURN . <---- Controls goes to next program, within same session.
Report ZIMPORT_TEST.
IMPORT IT from MEMORY ID 'EAI1'.  <----
Imports data from common local sap memory.
If u want to run two independent reports one exporting, another importing, then u have to use
'SET' and 'GET' parameter concept which refers global sap memory.
Thanks..
