ABAP code example for Function Module FLOW_TYPE_READ_SEC

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module FLOW_TYPE_READ_SEC 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_e_flow_type  
 
 TYPE TZB0A
.

 

SELECT single RANTYP 
  FROM TZB0A 
  INTO @DATA(ld_i_rantyp).

 

SELECT single SBEWART

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_e_flow_type
 
 TYPE TZB0A ,
ld_i_rantyp
 
 TYPE TZB0A-RANTYP ,
ld_i_sbewart
 
 TYPE TZB0A-SBEWART .



SELECT single RANTYP 
  FROM TZB0A 
  INTO ld_i_rantyp.


SELECT single SBEWART 
  FROM TZB0A 
  INTO ld_i_sbewart.
