ABAP code example for Function Module CHECK_SPEC_PARTNER

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module CHECK_SPEC_PARTNER 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 RCVPRN 
  FROM EDP13 
  INTO @DATA(ld_rcvprn).

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_spec_flag
 
 TYPE C ,
ld_rcvprn
 
 TYPE EDP13-RCVPRN ,
ld_mestyp
 
 TYPE EDP13-MESTYP .



SELECT single RCVPRN 
  FROM EDP13 
  INTO ld_rcvprn.


SELECT single MESTYP 
  FROM EDP13 
  INTO ld_mestyp.
