ABAP code example for Function Module IMP_GET_HANDLE





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module IMP_GET_HANDLE 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_ev_handle    TYPE IMP_HANDLE
.




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

CALL FUNCTION 'IMP_GET_HANDLE'
* EXPORTING
*   iv_applclass =               ld_iv_applclass
  IMPORTING
    ev_handle =                  ld_ev_handle
  EXCEPTIONS
    CX_EXCEPTIONS_IMP =          1
    .  "  IMP_GET_HANDLE

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
  "All OK
ELSEIF SY-SUBRC EQ 1. "Exception
  "Add code for exception here
ENDIF.







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_ev_handle  TYPE IMP_HANDLE ,
ld_iv_applclass  TYPE IMP_APPLCLASS .




ld_iv_applclass = 'Check type of data required'.
