ABAP code example for Function Module DB4_EXPLAIN_LOC





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module DB4_EXPLAIN_LOC 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).

DATA:
it_info_tree_tab    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SNODETEXT,"TABLES PARAM
wa_info_tree_tab  LIKE LINE OF it_info_tree_tab
.




DATA(ld_explain) = 'Check type of data required'.


DATA(ld_level) = Check type of data required
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_info_tree_tab to it_info_tree_tab.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'DB4_EXPLAIN_LOC'
  EXPORTING
    explain =                    ld_explain
    level =                      ld_level
  TABLES

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_explain  TYPE DB4_EXPLAIN ,
it_info_tree_tab  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SNODETEXT ,
wa_info_tree_tab  LIKE LINE OF it_info_tree_tab,
ld_level  TYPE SNODETEXT-TLEVEL .




ld_explain = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_info_tree_tab to it_info_tree_tab.

ld_level = Check type of data required
