ABAP code example for Function Module CALENDAR_VISUAL_INFORMATION





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module CALENDAR_VISUAL_INFORMATION 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_actual_date  TYPE SCA2-DATUM ,
it_day_attributes  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF CASDAYATTR ,
wa_day_attributes  LIKE LINE OF it_day_attributes,
ld_calendar_information  TYPE ICAL_INFO .



 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
