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_value
 
 TYPE DDB_C06 ,
ld_fact
 
 TYPE DDB_C02-FACT ,
ld_col
 
 TYPE STRING .



ld_fact = Check type of data required
ld_col = 'some text here'.
