ABAP code example for Function Module BAPI_FUNCLOC_STRUC_ASSIGN





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module BAPI_FUNCLOC_STRUC_ASSIGN 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_data_general_exp    TYPE BAPI_ITOB
,
ld_data_specific_exp    TYPE BAPI_ITOB_FL_ONLY
,
it_return    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPIRET2,"TABLES PARAM
wa_return  LIKE LINE OF it_return
.

DATA(ld_position) = some text here


DATA(ld_valid_from_iso) = Check type of data required
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_return to it_return.

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_data_general_exp  TYPE BAPI_ITOB ,
ld_functlocation  TYPE BAPI_ITOB_PARMS-FUNCLOC_INT ,
it_return  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPIRET2 ,
wa_return  LIKE LINE OF it_return,
ld_data_specific_exp  TYPE BAPI_ITOB_FL_ONLY ,
ld_functlocation_superior  TYPE BAPI_ITOB_FL_ONLY-SUPFLOC ,
ld_position  TYPE BAPI_ITOB_FL_ONLY-POSNR ,
ld_valid_from_iso  TYPE BAPI_ITOB_PARMS_TIME-TIMESTAMP .





ld_functlocation = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_return to it_return.

ld_functlocation_superior = some text here

ld_position = some text here

ld_valid_from_iso = Check type of data required
