ABAP code example for Function Module VALUE_REQUEST_READ

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module VALUE_REQUEST_READ 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_dynpfield) = some text here
 

SELECT single DNUM 
  FROM D020S 
  INTO @DATA(ld_dynpname).

 

SELECT single PROG 
  FROM D020S 
  INTO @DATA(ld_progname).


DATA(ld_value_type) = 'some text here'.
 

SELECT single NAME 
  FROM TRDIR 
  INTO @DATA(ld_include).

.

CALL FUNCTION 'VALUE_REQUEST_READ'
  EXPORTING
*   dynpfield =                  ld_dynpfield
    dynpname =                   ld_dynpname
    progname =                   ld_progname
    value_type =                 ld_value_type
    include =                    ld_include
    .  "  VALUE_REQUEST_READ

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

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_dynpfield
 
 TYPE DYNPREAD-FIELDNAME ,
ld_dynpname
 
 TYPE D020S-DNUM ,
ld_progname
 
 TYPE D020S-PROG ,
ld_value_type
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_include
 
 TYPE TRDIR-NAME .



ld_dynpfield = some text here

SELECT single DNUM 
  FROM D020S 
  INTO ld_dynpname.


SELECT single PROG 
  FROM D020S 
  INTO ld_progname.

ld_value_type = 'some text here'.

SELECT single NAME 
  FROM TRDIR 
  INTO ld_include.
