ABAP code example for Function Module RSPC_API_GET_CHAINS





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module RSPC_API_GET_CHAINS 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:
it_e_t_chains    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF RSPCCHAINT,"TABLES PARAM
wa_e_t_chains  LIKE LINE OF it_e_t_chains
.




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

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

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

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_e_t_chains to it_e_t_chains.

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_i_with_dialog  TYPE RS_BOOL ,
it_e_t_chains  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF RSPCCHAINT ,
wa_e_t_chains  LIKE LINE OF it_e_t_chains,
ld_i_sel_chain  TYPE RSPC_CHAIN ,
ld_i_sel_txtlg  TYPE RSTXTLG .




ld_i_with_dialog = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_e_t_chains to it_e_t_chains.
ld_i_sel_chain = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_sel_txtlg = 'Check type of data required'.
