ABAP code example for Function Module HR_REORDER_FIELDS





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module HR_REORDER_FIELDS 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).

wa_fieldtabin  LIKE LINE OF it_fieldtabin
,

wa_resulttab  LIKE LINE OF it_resulttab
,
it_headertab    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TREEMHHDR,"TABLES PARAM
wa_headertab  LIKE LINE OF it_headertab

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_title  TYPE SY-TITLE ,
it_fieldtabin  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING ,
wa_fieldtabin  LIKE LINE OF it_fieldtabin,
ld_field_num  TYPE I ,
it_resulttab  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING ,
wa_resulttab  LIKE LINE OF it_resulttab,
ld_disp_only  TYPE C ,
it_headertab  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TREEMHHDR ,
wa_headertab  LIKE LINE OF it_headertab.




ld_title = 'some text here'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_fieldtabin to it_fieldtabin.
ld_field_num = 'some text here'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_resulttab to it_resulttab.
ld_disp_only = 'some text here'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
