ABAP code example for Function Module LOOK_FOR_TIME_TABLE





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

ld_e_value    TYPE DTVALUE
,

wa_time_table  LIKE LINE OF it_time_table
.




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

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

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

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_time_table to it_time_table.

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_e_value  TYPE DTVALUE ,
ld_i_unit  TYPE DTEH ,
it_time_table  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TIME_CONVERSION ,
wa_time_table  LIKE LINE OF it_time_table,
ld_e_unit  TYPE DTEH ,
ld_i_value  TYPE DTVALUE .




ld_i_unit = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_time_table to it_time_table.
ld_e_unit = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_value = 'Check type of data required'.
