TRM parameter ID

Parameter Ids are very usefull to make you work faster with SAP systems, but not only.

Parameter Id itself is an ID for a specific field.

For example, how to know Parameter ID of “Transaction” field in tr. TM_53: one way – to check list of paramter ID below in this artcle, another way is to give a focus for “Transaction” field and press F1 button on keyboard. When “Performance Assistant” window appers, press “Technical information” button.

On “Technical information” window find “Parameter ID” field with parameter ID for “Transaction” field.

TIPS: sometimes for some fields there are no Parameter IDs on “Technical information” window, but they actually exist (check list of param id below in this article). Moreover, sometimes Parameter ID you found can be useless. Example for TRM – param id “FAN” and for example “T5F” for interest rate instrument. FAN will not work, but T5F is okey.

• First application of Parameters ID: to have some fields values as soon as you have launched transaction

Start tr. SU3 or SU01.

Open “Paramter” tab.

Enter parameter ID “BUK” and assign Parameter value to it – for example your Company code.

Save your entry.

Next time you start for example tr. TM_53 – you’ll find field “Company code” filled with your Company code id. So you don’t have to fill it every time. Isn’t it very convenient?

• Another application is a drilldown in SAP Query (Also in ABAP reports), when you want to open transaction in SAP Query by double click on report line.In some cases, the drilldown to a transaction does not work in the reportreport interface. In these cases, you can use a small ABAP program to perform a drilldown. The ABAP program for a drilldown to the Interest rate instrument display (Transaction TM_53) is as follows:

REPORT ZTM_53.
PARAMETERS:
BUKRS LIKE VTMFHA-BUKRS,
DNUMBER LIKE VTMFHA-RFHA.
SET PARAMETER ID 'BUK' FIELD BUKRS.
SET PARAMETER ID 'T5F' FIELD DNUMBER.
CALL TRANSACTION 'TM_53' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.

In this case we used Parameters ID – “BUK” for company code and “T5F” for Interest Rate Instrument Transaction Number. How it works? When you make a double click on a line with parameters of Interest Rate instrument our code takes values for BUK and T5F param ID from double cliked line. Then transaction TM_53 is started. As soon as we have values for param ID – fields “Comapny code” and “transaction” are filled. And transaction TM_53 opens transaction details.
