ABAP code example for Function Module DDIF_STATE_GET





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

DATA:
ld_gotstate    TYPE DDGOTSTATE
.




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

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

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

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

CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_STATE_GET'
  EXPORTING
    type =                       ld_type
    name =                       ld_name
*   id =                         ld_id
*   state =                      ld_state
  IMPORTING
    gotstate =                   ld_gotstate
  EXCEPTIONS
    ILLEGAL_INPUT =              1
    .  "  DDIF_STATE_GET

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
  "All OK
ELSEIF SY-SUBRC EQ 1. "Exception
  "Add code for exception here
ENDIF.







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_gotstate  TYPE DDGOTSTATE ,
ld_type  TYPE DDOBJTYP ,
ld_name  TYPE DDOBJNAME ,
ld_id  TYPE DDOBJECTID ,
ld_state  TYPE DDOBJSTATE .




ld_type = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_name = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_id = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_state = 'Check type of data required'.
