ABAP code to compare 7.40 inline data declaration with original 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_estat  TYPE TJ30-ESTAT ,
ld_display  TYPE XFELD ,
ld_txt04  TYPE TJ30T-TXT04 ,
ld_stsma  TYPE TJ20-STSMA ,
ld_txt30  TYPE TJ30T-TXT30 ,
