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_ex_errors  TYPE SWD_TERROR ,
ld_im_force_gen  TYPE XFLAG ,
ld_ex_activation_not_possible  TYPE SYTABIX ,
ld_im_package  TYPE DEVCLASS ,
ld_ex_return  TYPE SWD_RETURN .
