We can use memory id technique to export/import data to/from ABAP memory. ABAP memory is a memory area in SAP where all ABAP programs within the same session/LUW can has access. We can access/write the ABAP memory using the statement EXPORT and IMPORT.
Please find below an example on how to export and import data to/from the ABAP memory:

In the example code above, we have export the program name to memory id and the memory is then imported. The value imported is then display.
After executing the program above, we can noticed that the name of the program imported via memory id is being displayed on the report:
