ABAP code example for Function Module ANST_SAVE_TRACE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module ANST_SAVE_TRACE 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:
it_lt_trace_p  
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ANST_NOTE_SEA_P,"TABLES PARAM
wa_lt_trace_p
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_lt_trace_p
.


DATA(ld_ls_trace) = 'Check type of data required'.
 

SELECT single DESCRIPTION 
  FROM ANST_NOTE_SEA 
  INTO @DATA(ld_p_descri).

 

SELECT single RFCDEST 
  FROM RFCDES 
  INTO @DATA(ld_rfc_dest).

 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_lt_trace_p to it_lt_trace_p.

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_ls_trace
 
 TYPE ANST_NOTE_SEA ,
ld_p_descri
 
 TYPE ANST_NOTE_SEA-DESCRIPTION ,
it_lt_trace_p
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ANST_NOTE_SEA_P ,
wa_lt_trace_p
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_lt_trace_p,
ld_rfc_dest
 
 TYPE RFCDES-RFCDEST .


ld_ls_trace = 'Check type of data required'.

SELECT single DESCRIPTION 
  FROM ANST_NOTE_SEA 
  INTO ld_p_descri.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_lt_trace_p to it_lt_trace_p.

SELECT single RFCDEST
