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_no_value_found
 
 TYPE WCOL_S-XFELD ,
ld_i_lifnr
 
 TYPE LFA1-LIFNR ,
it_values
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF CONF_OUT ,
wa_values
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_values,
ld_i_matnr
 
 TYPE MARA-MATNR .



SELECT single LIFNR 
  FROM LFA1 
  INTO ld_i_lifnr.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_values to it_values.

SELECT single MATNR 
  FROM MARA 
  INTO ld_i_matnr.
