ABAP code example for Function Module ACL_AUTHORITY_CHECK

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module ACL_AUTHORITY_CHECK including all data declarations. The code uses the latest in-line data DECLARATION SYNTAX but I have included an ABAP code snippet at the end to show how declarations would look using the original method of declaring data variables up front. This will allow you to compare and fully understand the new inline method. Please note some of the newer syntax such as the @DATA is not available until a later 4.70 service pack (SP8).

DATA:
ld_auth_error  
 
 TYPE ACLERROR
.


DATA(ld_acl_id) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_acl_user) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_activity) = 'Check type of data required'.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'ACL_AUTHORITY_CHECK'
  EXPORTING
    acl_id =                     ld_acl_id
*   acl_user =                   ld_acl_user
    activity =                   ld_activity
  IMPORTING
    auth_error =                 ld_auth_error

ABAP code to compare 7.40 inline data declaration with original syntax

The below ABAP code uses the older none in-line data declarations. This allows you to see the coding differences/benefits of the later inline syntax. It may also be useful if you are using an older version of SAP as some of the newer syntax above, such as the @DATA is not available until 4.70 EHP 8.

DATA:

ld_auth_error
 
 TYPE ACLERROR ,
ld_acl_id
 
 TYPE ACL_ID ,
ld_acl_user
 
 TYPE ACL_USER ,
ld_activity
 
 TYPE ACL_ACTVTY .


ld_acl_id = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_acl_user = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_activity = 'Check type of data required'.
