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:

 TYPE SWCONTDEF ,
ld_element
 
 TYPE SWCONTDEF-ELEMENT ,
ld_index
 
 TYPE SWCONT-TAB_INDEX ,
ld_elem_type
 
 TYPE SWCONT-TYPE ,
ld_elem_length
 
 TYPE SWCONT-ELEMLENGTH ,
ld_expr
 
 TYPE SWAEXPDEF-EXPR .


ld_element_def = 'Check type of data required'.

ld_element = some text here

ld_index = Check type of data required
