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_es_error_message
 
 TYPE IMIS_TYPE_S_MESSAGE ,
ld_i_file
 
 TYPE IMIS_TYPE_FILENAME ,
ld_i_flg_message_raising
 
 TYPE IMIS_TYPE_FLG .


ld_i_file = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_flg_message_raising = 'Check type of data required'.
