ABAP code example for Function Module CTMV_CHECK_CHARACTERISTIC





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module CTMV_CHECK_CHARACTERISTIC 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_document_not_found  TYPE STRING ,
ld_cabn_imp  TYPE CABN ,
ld_no_required_entry  TYPE STRING ,
ld_key_date  TYPE SY-DATUM ,
ld_interval_required  TYPE STRING ,
ld_change_number  TYPE CABN-AENNR ,
ld_invalid_group  TYPE STRING ,
ld_invalid_status  TYPE STRING ,
ld_invalid_spras_meaning  TYPE STRING ,
ld_invalid_spras_values  TYPE STRING ,
ld_object_table_required  TYPE STRING ,
ld_object_table_invalid  TYPE STRING .




ld_cabn_imp = '20210129'.
ld_key_date = '20210129'.

SELECT single AENNR
