The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module BAPI_OBJCL_CONCATENATEKEY 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_objectkey_conc
 
 TYPE BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECT ,
ld_objecttable
 
 TYPE BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECTTABLE ,
it_objectkeytable
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPI1003_OBJECT_KEYS ,
wa_objectkeytable
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_objectkeytable,
it_return
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPIRET2 ,
wa_return
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_return.



ld_objecttable = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_objectkeytable to it_objectkeytable. 

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