ABAP code example for Function Module FUNCTION_EXPORT_TO_MEMORY

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module FUNCTION_EXPORT_TO_MEMORY 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_funcname
 
 TYPE RS38L-NAME ,
it_tab_func
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF FBINFO1 ,
wa_tab_func
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_tab_func,
ld_area
 
 TYPE RS38L-AREA ,
ld_forced
 
 TYPE CHAR1 ,
ld_delete_flag
 
 TYPE CHAR1 .



ld_funcname = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_tab_func to it_tab_func.

ld_area = some text here
ld_forced = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_delete_flag = 'Check type of data required'.
