ABAP code example for Function Module LARGE_LAYOUT_EXISTS

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module LARGE_LAYOUT_EXISTS 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_valid  
 
 TYPE STRING
.



DATA(ld_destination) = some text here


DATA(ld_line_count) = 123 


DATA(ld_line_size) = 123 
.

CALL FUNCTION 'LARGE_LAYOUT_EXISTS'
* EXPORTING
*   destination =                ld_destination
*   line_count =                 ld_line_count
*   line_size =                  ld_line_size
  IMPORTING
    valid =                      ld_valid
    .  "  LARGE_LAYOUT_EXISTS

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

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_valid
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_destination
 
 TYPE PRI_PARAMS-PDEST ,
ld_line_count
 
 TYPE PRI_PARAMS-LINCT ,
ld_line_size
 
 TYPE PRI_PARAMS-LINSZ .



ld_destination = some text here

ld_line_count = 123 

ld_line_size = 123
