ABAP code example for Function Module BUS_DDFIELD_GET

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

.

 

SELECT single TABNAME 
  FROM DD03L 
  INTO @DATA(ld_i_tabnm).

 

SELECT single FIELDNAME

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_e_dd03p
 
 TYPE DD03P ,
ld_i_tabnm
 
 TYPE DD03L-TABNAME ,
ld_i_fldnm
 
 TYPE DD03L-FIELDNAME ,
ld_i_langu
 
 TYPE SY-LANGU .



SELECT single TABNAME 
  FROM DD03L 
  INTO ld_i_tabnm.


SELECT single FIELDNAME 
  FROM DD03L 
  INTO ld_i_fldnm.

ld_i_langu = 'Check type of data required'.
