ABAP code example for Function Module COMPOSE_ITF





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module COMPOSE_ITF 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:
it_t_itf  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TLINE,"TABLES PARAM
wa_t_itf  LIKE LINE OF it_t_itf .

DATA(ld_i_header) = 'Check type of data required'.
DATA(ld_i_datatab) = 'Check type of data required'.
DATA(ld_i_size) = 'Check type of data required'.
DATA(ld_i_formatwidth) = 'Check type of data required'.
DATA(ld_i_linewidth) = 'Check type of data required'.

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_t_itf to it_t_itf. . CALL FUNCTION 'COMPOSE_ITF' EXPORTING i_header = ld_i_header i_datatab = ld_i_datatab i_size = ld_i_size i_formatwidth = ld_i_formatwidth i_linewidth = ld_i_linewidth TABLES t_itf = it_t_itf EXCEPTIONS MISSING_SIZE = 1 . " COMPOSE_ITF

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_i_header  TYPE THEAD ,
it_t_itf  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TLINE ,
wa_t_itf  LIKE LINE OF it_t_itf,
ld_i_datatab  TYPE TDTAB_X256 ,
ld_i_size  TYPE I ,
ld_i_formatwidth  TYPE I ,
ld_i_linewidth  TYPE TDLINESIZE .

ld_i_header = 'Check type of data required'.

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_t_itf to it_t_itf.
ld_i_datatab = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_size = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_formatwidth = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_linewidth = 'Check type of data required'.
