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_tobj_name
 
 TYPE SEU_OBJKEY ,
ld_tobj_version
 
 TYPE ETOBJ_VER ,
ld_tobj_type
 
 TYPE ETOBJ_TYPE ,
ld_tobj_tool_name
 
 TYPE ETTOOLNAME ,
ld_suppress_ext_tool
 
 TYPE ETONOFF ,
ld_object_name_input_required
 
 TYPE ETONOFF .


ld_tobj_name = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_tobj_type = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_suppress_ext_tool = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_object_name_input_required = 'Check type of data required'.
