ABAP code example for Function Module C_ORA_CREATE_SNAPSHOT

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module C_ORA_CREATE_SNAPSHOT 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_e_rc  
 
 TYPE I
.


DATA(ld_i_snapshot_type) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_i_save_errlog) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_it_mail_receivers) = 'Check type of data required'.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'C_ORA_CREATE_SNAPSHOT'
  EXPORTING
    i_snapshot_type =            ld_i_snapshot_type
    i_save_errlog =              ld_i_save_errlog

  IMPORTING
    e_rc =                       ld_e_rc

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_rc
 
 TYPE I ,
ld_i_snapshot_type
 
 TYPE ORA_SNAPSHOT_TYPE ,
ld_i_save_errlog
 
 TYPE XFELD ,
ld_it_mail_receivers
 
 TYPE ORA_SNAP_MAILRCV_T .


ld_i_snapshot_type = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_save_errlog = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_it_mail_receivers = 'Check type of data required'.
