ABAP code example for Function Module GET_LENGTH_AND_DATE





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

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

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

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

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

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_LENGTH_AND_DATE'
  EXPORTING
    p_day_table =                ld_p_day_table
  CHANGING
    p_it_days =                  ld_p_it_days
    p_date_begin =               ld_p_date_begin
    p_date_end =                 ld_p_date_end
    p_number_of_days =           ld_p_number_of_days

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_p_it_days  TYPE CALDAYSTAB ,
ld_p_day_table  TYPE SZTG_TNEW ,
ld_p_date_begin  TYPE DATS ,
ld_p_date_end  TYPE DATS ,
ld_p_number_of_days  TYPE I .




ld_p_it_days = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_p_day_table = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_p_date_begin = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_p_date_end = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_p_number_of_days = 'Check type of data required'.
