ABAP code example for Function Module C_PDM_LAUNCH_LOCAL_APPLICATION

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module C_PDM_LAUNCH_LOCAL_APPLICATION 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_inline_viewing  
 
 TYPE CSDATA-XFELD
.



DATA(ld_object_handle) = 123 


DATA(ld_object_type) = some text here

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

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_inline_viewing
 
 TYPE CSDATA-XFELD ,
ld_object_handle
 
 TYPE PDM_TREE-OBJECT_HANDLE ,
ld_object_type
 
 TYPE PDM_TREE-OBJECT_TYPE ,
ld_viewer_container
 
 TYPE CL_GUI_CONTAINER .



ld_object_handle = 123 

ld_object_type = some text here
ld_viewer_container = 'Check type of data required'.
