ABAP code example for Function Module EXTTYPE_READ





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

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_pe_attributes  TYPE EDI_IAPI01 ,
ld_pi_cimtyp  TYPE EDI_IAPI00-CIMTYP ,
it_pt_syntax  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF EDI_IAPI03 ,
wa_pt_syntax  LIKE LINE OF it_pt_syntax,
ld_pi_check_authority  TYPE EDI_IAPI00-FLAG ,
it_pt_pre_syntax  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF EDI_IAPI03 ,
wa_pt_pre_syntax  LIKE LINE OF it_pt_pre_syntax,
ld_pi_read_devc  TYPE EDI_IAPI00-FLAG ,
it_pt_int_syntax  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF EDI_IAPI06 ,
wa_pt_int_syntax  LIKE LINE OF it_pt_int_syntax.





ld_pi_cimtyp = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_pt_syntax to it_pt_syntax.

ld_pi_check_authority = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
