ABAP code example for Function Module RH_GET_TASK_START_EVENTS

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

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_act_task
 
 TYPE RHOBJECTS-OBJECT ,
it_act_events
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF HRI1212 ,
wa_act_events
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_act_events,
ld_act_plvar
 
 TYPE PLOG-PLVAR ,
ld_search_date
 
 TYPE SY-DATUM .



ld_act_task = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_act_events to it_act_events.

SELECT single PLVAR 
  FROM PLOG 
  INTO ld_act_plvar.

ld_search_date = '20210129'.
