ABAP code example for Function Module BI_EDIT_DATA

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module BI_EDIT_DATA 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_save_pressed  
 
 TYPE STRING
,

 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TEDATA,"TABLES PARAM

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_data_altered
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_save_pressed
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_list_title
 
 TYPE STRING ,
it_disp_data
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TEDATA ,
wa_disp_data
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_disp_data,
ld_alter_allowed
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_create_tables_statement
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_nodata_sign
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_display_only_data
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_display_data_offset
 
 TYPE STRING .


ld_data_altered = 'some text here'.
ld_list_title = 'some text here'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_disp_data to it_disp_data.
ld_alter_allowed = 'some text here'.
