ABAP code example for Function Module VALIDATE_OPERATOR





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module VALIDATE_OPERATOR 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_e_record    TYPE LFB1
,
ld_e_valid    TYPE STRING
.



 

SELECT single BUKRS 
  FROM LFB1 
  INTO @DATA(ld_i_company).

 

SELECT single LIFNR 
  FROM LFB1 
  INTO @DATA(ld_i_operator).

CALL FUNCTION 'VALIDATE_OPERATOR'
  EXPORTING
    i_company =                  ld_i_company

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_e_record  TYPE LFB1 ,
ld_i_company  TYPE LFB1-BUKRS ,
ld_e_valid  TYPE STRING ,
ld_i_operator  TYPE LFB1-LIFNR .





SELECT single BUKRS 
  FROM LFB1 
  INTO ld_i_company.


SELECT single LIFNR 
  FROM LFB1 
  INTO ld_i_operator.
