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_i_mode
 
 TYPE CHAR1 ,
ld_i_auth_group
 
 TYPE IGMSPCLASS-AUTH_GROUP ,
ld_i_auth_group_old
 
 TYPE IGMSPCLASS-AUTH_GROUP .


ld_i_mode = 'Check type of data required'.

ld_i_auth_group = some text here

ld_i_auth_group_old = some text here
