ABAP code example for Function Module CLMA_CLASS_TEXT





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module CLMA_CLASS_TEXT 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:
it_tklas    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF CLTEXT,"TABLES PARAM
wa_tklas  LIKE LINE OF it_tklas
.



 

SELECT single KLART 
  FROM KLAH 
  INTO @DATA(ld_classtype).


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


DATA(ld_mode) = some text here


DATA(ld_key_date) = 20210129
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_tklas to it_tklas.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLMA_CLASS_TEXT'
  EXPORTING
*   classtype =                  ld_classtype
*   language =                   ld_language
    mode =                       ld_mode
*   key_date =                   ld_key_date
  TABLES
    tklas =                      it_tklas
  EXCEPTIONS
    CLASSTYPE_MISSING =          1
    .  "  CLMA_CLASS_TEXT

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
  "All OK
ELSEIF SY-SUBRC EQ 1. "Exception
  "Add code for exception here
ENDIF.







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_classtype  TYPE KLAH-KLART ,
it_tklas  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF CLTEXT ,
wa_tklas  LIKE LINE OF it_tklas,
ld_language  TYPE SY-LANGU ,
ld_mode  TYPE RMCLM-BASISD ,
ld_key_date  TYPE RMCLM-DATUV .





SELECT single KLART 
  FROM KLAH 
  INTO ld_classtype.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_tklas to it_tklas.
ld_language = 'Check type of data required'.

ld_mode = some text here

ld_key_date = 20210129
