ABAP code example for Function Module PPELIHDR_COPY

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module PPELIHDR_COPY 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_ppeguid  
 
 TYPE PPEHDR-PPEGUID
.

 

SELECT single PPEGUID 
  FROM PPEHDR 
  INTO @DATA(ld_iv_ppeguid).

 

SELECT single PPENAME 
  FROM PPEHDR 
  INTO @DATA(ld_iv_ppename).

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_ppeguid
 
 TYPE PPEHDR-PPEGUID ,
ld_iv_ppeguid
 
 TYPE PPEHDR-PPEGUID ,
ld_iv_ppename
 
 TYPE PPEHDR-PPENAME ,
ld_iv_bypass_libuffer
 
 TYPE C ,
ld_iv_msg_handling
 
 TYPE PPET_MSG_OPT .



SELECT single PPEGUID 
  FROM PPEHDR 
  INTO ld_iv_ppeguid.


SELECT single PPENAME 
  FROM PPEHDR 
  INTO ld_iv_ppename.

ld_iv_bypass_libuffer = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_iv_msg_handling = 'Check type of data required'.
