ABAP code example for Function Module DX_FILE_CREATE_REG

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module DX_FILE_CREATE_REG 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_fileid  
 
 TYPE DXFILE-FILEID
.

 

SELECT single FILENAME 
  FROM DXFILE 
  INTO @DATA(ld_name).

 

SELECT single FILETYPE 
  FROM DXFILE 
  INTO @DATA(ld_type).

.

CALL FUNCTION 'DX_FILE_CREATE_REG'
  EXPORTING
    name =                       ld_name
    type =                       ld_type
  IMPORTING
    fileid =                     ld_fileid
  EXCEPTIONS
    FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS =        1
    TYPE_DOES_NOT_EXIST =        2
    .  "  DX_FILE_CREATE_REG

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

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_fileid
 
 TYPE DXFILE-FILEID ,
ld_name
 
 TYPE DXFILE-FILENAME ,
ld_type
 
 TYPE DXFILE-FILETYPE .



SELECT single FILENAME 
  FROM DXFILE 
  INTO ld_name.


SELECT single FILETYPE 
  FROM DXFILE 
  INTO ld_type.
