ABAP code example for Function Module SDB_TABLE_IS_GENERATED

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SDB_TABLE_IS_GENERATED 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_e_table_generated  
 
 TYPE CHAR1
,
ld_e_identifier  
 
 TYPE CHAR3
.


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

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

CALL FUNCTION 'SDB_TABLE_IS_GENERATED'
  EXPORTING
    i_tabname =                  ld_i_tabname
*   i_appl =                     ld_i_appl
  IMPORTING
    e_table_generated =          ld_e_table_generated
    e_identifier =               ld_e_identifier
    .  "  SDB_TABLE_IS_GENERATED

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_e_table_generated
 
 TYPE CHAR1 ,
ld_i_tabname
 
 TYPE TABNAME ,
ld_e_identifier
 
 TYPE CHAR3 ,
ld_i_appl
 
 TYPE CHAR10 .


ld_i_tabname = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_appl = 'Check type of data required'.
