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_paobjnr
 
 TYPE CEST1-PAOBJNR ,
ld_i_cest1
 
 TYPE CEST1 ,
ld_e_cest1
 
 TYPE CEST1 ,
ld_i_criteria_v
 
 TYPE COPACRIT ,
ld_e_criteria_v
 
 TYPE COPACRIT .


ld_i_cest1 = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_criteria_v = 'Check type of data required'.
