ABAP code example for Function Module DB6_PM_BPSNAP

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module DB6_PM_BPSNAP 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_action
 
 TYPE I ,
it_it_db6pmsbp
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DB6PMSBP ,
wa_it_db6pmsbp
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_it_db6pmsbp,
ld_partitn
 
 TYPE DB6PMCD-PARTITN ,
ld_connection
 
 TYPE DBCON-CON_NAME .


ld_action = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_it_db6pmsbp to it_it_db6pmsbp.

ld_partitn = 123 

SELECT single CON_NAME 
  FROM DBCON 
  INTO ld_connection.
