ABAP code example for Function Module ALM_ME_CLASS_CHAR_CREATE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module ALM_ME_CLASS_CHAR_CREATE 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).

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_im_template_equnr
 
 TYPE EQUNR ,
it_classification_values
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ALM_ME_CHAR_VALUES ,
wa_classification_values
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_classification_values,
ld_im_equnr
 
 TYPE EQUNR ,
it_return
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPIRET2 ,
wa_return
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_return.


ld_im_template_equnr = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_classification_values to it_classification_values.
ld_im_equnr = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_return to it_return.
