ABAP code example for Function Module STRUCT_OBJECT_ROOT_NODE_GET

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module STRUCT_OBJECT_ROOT_NODE_GET 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_root_node  
 
 TYPE SDOKOBJECT
,
ld_error_msg  
 
 TYPE IWERRORMSG

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_root_node
 
 TYPE SDOKOBJECT ,
ld_info_object
 
 TYPE SDOKOBJECT ,
it_context
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SDOKPROPTY ,
wa_context
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_context,
ld_error_msg
 
 TYPE IWERRORMSG ,
ld_suppress_authority_check
 
 TYPE IWPARAMS-FLAG .


ld_info_object = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_context to it_context.

ld_suppress_authority_check = some text here
