The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module BICS_PROV_VAR_GET_HIERARCHIES 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).

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_e_max_message_type  TYPE SYMSGTY ,
ld_i_variable_container_handle  TYPE RSBOLAP_HANDLE ,
it_e_t_hierarchy_cat  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BICS_PROV_META_HIERARCHY_CAT ,
wa_e_t_hierarchy_cat  LIKE LINE OF it_e_t_hierarchy_cat,
ld_i_variable_id  TYPE RSBOLAP_OBJECT_ID ,
it_i_t_statistic_info  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF RSSTA_S_EVENTINPUT ,
wa_i_t_statistic_info  LIKE LINE OF it_i_t_statistic_info.




ld_i_variable_container_handle = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_e_t_hierarchy_cat to it_e_t_hierarchy_cat.
ld_i_variable_id = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
