ABAP code example for Function Module CUPA_SCAN





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module CUPA_SCAN 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_col  TYPE SY-COLNO ,
ld_msgtype  TYPE STRING ,
it_parsd_source  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF PARS_TEXT ,
wa_parsd_source  LIKE LINE OF it_parsd_source,
ld_line  TYPE SY-LINNO ,
ld_msg_arg1  TYPE STRING ,
ld_msg_arg2  TYPE STRING ,
ld_msg_arg3  TYPE STRING ,
ld_msg_arg4  TYPE STRING ,
ld_msg_id  TYPE STRING ,
ld_msg_number  TYPE STRING ,
ld_no_tokens  TYPE STRING ,
ld_result  TYPE STRING .

ld_msgtype = 'some text here'.

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_parsd_source to it_parsd_source.
