ABAP code example for Function Module SWU_NUMBER_RANGE_CREATE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SWU_NUMBER_RANGE_CREATE 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_number  
 
 TYPE STRING
,
ld_quantity  
 
 TYPE INRI-QUANTITY
,

SELECT single OBJECT 
  FROM NRIV 
  INTO @DATA(ld_object).

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_number
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_object
 
 TYPE NRIV-OBJECT ,
ld_quantity
 
 TYPE INRI-QUANTITY ,
ld_nr_range_nr1
 
 TYPE NRIV-NRRANGENR ,
ld_returncode
 
 TYPE INRI-RETURNCODE ,
ld_subobject
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_use_max_range
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_quantity
 
 TYPE INRI-QUANTITY .



SELECT single OBJECT 
  FROM NRIV 
  INTO ld_object.


SELECT single NRRANGENR 
  FROM NRIV 
  INTO ld_nr_range_nr1.

ld_subobject = 'some text here'.
ld_use_max_range = 'some text here'.

ld_quantity = Check type of data required
