ABAP code example for Function Module BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_VARIABLES





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_VARIABLES 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_return    TYPE BAPIRET2
,
ld_statistic    TYPE BAPI6111STT
,
it_variables    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPI6110VAR,"TABLES PARAM
wa_variables  LIKE LINE OF it_variables
.





DATA(ld_cat_nam) = some text here


DATA(ld_cube_nam) = some text here
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_variables to it_variables.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_VARIABLES'
  EXPORTING
*   cat_nam =                    ld_cat_nam
    cube_nam =                   ld_cube_nam
  IMPORTING
    return =                     ld_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_return  TYPE BAPIRET2 ,
ld_cat_nam  TYPE BAPI6110VAR-CAT_NAM ,
it_variables  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPI6110VAR ,
wa_variables  LIKE LINE OF it_variables,
ld_statistic  TYPE BAPI6111STT ,
ld_cube_nam  TYPE BAPI6110VAR-CUBE_NAM .





ld_cat_nam = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_variables to it_variables.

ld_cube_nam = some text here
