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).

 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF MAPE,"TABLES PARAM
wa_xmape
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_xmape

SELECT single PREFE 
  FROM MARC 
  INTO @DATA(ld_xprefe).


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

"populate fields of struture and append to itab

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_xprefe
 
 TYPE MARC-PREFE ,
it_xmape
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF MAPE ,
wa_xmape
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_xmape,
ld_xmarc

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_xmape to it_xmape.
ld_xmarc = 'Check type of data required'.
