ABAP code example for Function Module SWO_OBJTYPE_CODEGEN

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SWO_OBJTYPE_CODEGEN 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).

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_output_language
 
 TYPE SWOTGEN-LANGU_OUTP ,
it_objecttypes
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SWOTSUPER ,
wa_objecttypes
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_objecttypes,
ld_filename
 
 TYPE SWOTGEN-FILENAME ,
it_source
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SWOTCODE ,
wa_source
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_source.



ld_output_language = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_objecttypes to it_objecttypes.

ld_filename = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_source to it_source.
