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_fb_participant
 
 TYPE SCSFBPARTTAB ,
ld_fb_condense
 
 TYPE SCSFBDATATAB ,
ld_tst_from
 
 TYPE TIMESTAMP ,
ld_tst_to
 
 TYPE TIMESTAMP ,
ld_user_timezone
 
 TYPE TIMEZONE .


ld_fb_participant = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_tst_from = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_tst_to = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_user_timezone = 'Check type of data required'.
