ABAP code example for Function Module FTR_GDPDU_SEGMENT_INIT

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module FTR_GDPDU_SEGMENT_INIT 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_im_structure_name) = 'Check type of data required'.

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

CALL FUNCTION 'FTR_GDPDU_SEGMENT_INIT'

    im_structure_name =          ld_im_structure_name
    im_rng_struct_name =         ld_im_rng_struct_name

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_im_structure_name
 
 TYPE TXW_EXPSTR ,
ld_im_rng_struct_name
 
 TYPE FTR_GDPDU_RNG_STRUCT_NAME .


ld_im_structure_name = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_im_rng_struct_name = 'Check type of data required'.
