ABAP code example for Function Module CACS_FIND_FUNCTION

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module CACS_FIND_FUNCTION 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_e_function  
 
 TYPE RS38L_FNAM
.


DATA(ld_i_method) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_i_type) = 'Check type of data required'.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'CACS_FIND_FUNCTION'
  EXPORTING
    i_method =                   ld_i_method
    i_type =                     ld_i_type
  IMPORTING
    e_function =                 ld_e_function

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_function
 
 TYPE RS38L_FNAM ,
ld_i_method
 
 TYPE CACSMETHOD ,
ld_i_type
 
 TYPE TROBJTYPE .


ld_i_method = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_type = 'Check type of data required'.
