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_ex_date
 
 TYPE SY-DATUM ,
ld_im_date
 
 TYPE CHAR10 ,

 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPIRET2 ,
wa_return
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_return,
ld_ex_time
 
 TYPE SY-UZEIT ,
ld_im_time
 
 TYPE CHAR8 ,
ld_no_date_separators
 
 TYPE XFELD .


ld_im_date = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_return to it_return.
ld_im_time = 'Check type of data required'.
