Passing sy-repid Not Allowed

In ABAP Objects, you cannot pass the system field sy-repid as an actual parameter to an external procedure .

In ABAP Objects, the following statement causes an error message:

CALL FUNCTION func EXPORTING p = sy-repid.

Correct syntax:

DATA repname TYPE sy-repid.

repname = sy-repid.
CALL FUNCTION func EXPORTING p = repname.

Reason:

When the parameters are passed to the formal parameters, sy-repid
already contains the name of the main program of the procedure you have called, even though you intended to pass the name of the calling program.
