ABAP code example for Function Module RKC_GET_OBJECT_DESCRIPTION





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module RKC_GET_OBJECT_DESCRIPTION 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_flag_keynode    TYPE STRING
,
ld_text_objectid    TYPE STRING
,
ld_text_objecttype    TYPE STRING
,
ld_related_textclass    TYPE TKCOD-TXTCL
.



 

SELECT single APPLCLASS 
  FROM TKEB1 
  INTO @DATA(ld_application).


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

CALL FUNCTION 'RKC_GET_OBJECT_DESCRIPTION'
  EXPORTING
*   application =                ld_application
    object =                     ld_object
  IMPORTING
    flag_keynode =               ld_flag_keynode
    text_objectid =              ld_text_objectid
    text_objecttype =            ld_text_objecttype
    related_textclass =          ld_related_textclass
  EXCEPTIONS
    NO_DESCRIPTION =             1
    .  "  RKC_GET_OBJECT_DESCRIPTION

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

  "Add code for exception here
ENDIF.







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_flag_keynode  TYPE STRING ,
ld_application  TYPE TKEB1-APPLCLASS ,
ld_text_objectid  TYPE STRING ,
ld_object  TYPE TKCOS ,
ld_text_objecttype  TYPE STRING ,
ld_related_textclass  TYPE TKCOD-TXTCL .





SELECT single APPLCLASS 
  FROM TKEB1 
  INTO ld_application.

ld_object = 'Check type of data required'.
