ABAP code example for Function Module CLMA_CLASS_TEXTS





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module CLMA_CLASS_TEXTS 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_e_header  TYPE THEAD ,
ld_classname  TYPE KLAH-CLASS ,
it_tlines  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TLINE ,
wa_tlines  LIKE LINE OF it_tlines,
ld_classtype  TYPE KLAH-KLART ,
it_tklat  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF KLKLAT ,
wa_tklat  LIKE LINE OF it_tklat,
ld_language  TYPE SY-LANGU ,
it_theader  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF THEAD ,
wa_theader  LIKE LINE OF it_theader,
ld_date  TYPE SY-DATUM ,
ld_textid  TYPE KLAT-TXTID .





SELECT single CLASS 
  FROM KLAH
