ABAP Keyword Documentation → ABAP Glossary →output parameter
Formal parameter of a procedure whose value is set in the procedure and is made available in the actual parameter after the procedure is completed. Output parameters are defined in methods and function modules using EXPORTING, and are therefore also known as EXPORTING parameters. In subroutines, output parameters are grouped together with the input/output parameters and are defined using CHANGING.
