ABAP code example for Function Module MESSAGES_TRACE





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module MESSAGES_TRACE 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_ed_key    TYPE SYDBCNT
,
ld_ed_msgty_max    TYPE SYMSGTY
,
ld_ed_msg_count    TYPE SYDBCNT
.




DATA(ld_id_key) = '123 '.

DATA(ld_ib_activate) = '123 '.

DATA(ld_ib_destroy) = '123 '.

DATA(ld_ib_reset) = '123 '.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'MESSAGES_TRACE'
* EXPORTING
*   id_key =                     ld_id_key

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_ed_key  TYPE SYDBCNT ,
ld_id_key  TYPE SYDBCNT ,
ld_ed_msgty_max  TYPE SYMSGTY ,
ld_ib_activate  TYPE BOOLE_D ,
ld_ed_msg_count  TYPE SYDBCNT ,
ld_ib_destroy  TYPE BOOLE_D ,
ld_ib_reset  TYPE BOOLE_D .




ld_id_key = '123 '.
ld_ib_activate = '123 '.
ld_ib_destroy = '123 '.
ld_ib_reset = '123 '.
