ABAP code example for Function Module COM_SETTYPE_MODIFY_OBJECT

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_iv_update
 
 TYPE UPDATE_TYPE ,
ld_iv_guid
 
 TYPE COMT_FRGTYPE_GUID32 ,
ld_is_settype
 
 TYPE COMC_SETTYPE .


ld_iv_update = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_iv_guid = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_is_settype = 'Check type of data required'.
