ABAP code example for Function Module BARC_ADD_CHART





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module BARC_ADD_CHART 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_id    TYPE BCCHART-ID
.





DATA(ld_index) = 123 


DATA(ld_size) = 123 


DATA(ld_chart_type) = some text here


DATA(ld_column_anz) = 123 


DATA(ld_winid) = some text here
.

CALL FUNCTION 'BARC_ADD_CHART'
* EXPORTING
*   index =                      ld_index

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_id  TYPE BCCHART-ID ,
ld_index  TYPE BCCHART-INDEX ,
ld_size  TYPE BCCHART-SIZE ,
ld_chart_type  TYPE BCCHART-TYPE ,
ld_column_anz  TYPE BCCHART-COLUMN_ANZ ,
ld_winid  TYPE NET_GRAPH-WINID .





ld_index = 123 

ld_size = 123 

ld_chart_type = some text here

ld_column_anz = 123 

ld_winid = some text here
