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_datatype  TYPE BAPICHARACTKEY-DATATYPE ,
it_charactrange  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPICHARACTRANGETABLE ,

it_charactgrouprange  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPICHARACTRANGEGROUP ,
wa_charactgrouprange  LIKE LINE OF it_charactgrouprange,
ld_referencetable  TYPE BAPICHARACTREFERENCES-REFERENCE_TABLE ,
it_charactlist  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPICHARACTLIST ,
wa_charactlist  LIKE LINE OF it_charactlist,
it_return  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPIRET2 ,
