ABAP code example for Function Module CATS_READ_ARCHIVED_DATA





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module CATS_READ_ARCHIVED_DATA 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_ask_for_confirm  TYPE STRING ,
it_tab_counter  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING ,
wa_tab_counter  LIKE LINE OF it_tab_counter,

wa_tab_pernr  LIKE LINE OF it_tab_pernr,
it_tab_workdate  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING ,
wa_tab_workdate  LIKE LINE OF it_tab_workdate,
it_tab_belnr  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING ,
wa_tab_belnr  LIKE LINE OF it_tab_belnr,
it_icatsdb  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF CATSDB ,
wa_icatsdb  LIKE LINE OF it_icatsdb.

ld_ask_for_confirm = 'some text here'.
