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_p_groupid
 
 TYPE BDLGROUPS-GROUPID ,
ld_p_contract
 
 TYPE BDLSERVICE-CONTRACT ,
ld_p_descr
 
 TYPE BDLSERVICE-DESCR ,
ld_p_node_name
 
 TYPE BDLGROUPS-GROUPNAME .



SELECT single CONTRACT 
  FROM BDLSERVICE 
  INTO ld_p_contract.


SELECT single DESCR 
  FROM BDLSERVICE 
  INTO ld_p_descr.


SELECT single GROUPNAME 
  FROM BDLGROUPS
