ABAP code example for Function Module DD_CHECK_NAME_SPACE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module DD_CHECK_NAME_SPACE 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:
ld_errnum  
 
 TYPE DDERR-ERRNUM
.

 

SELECT single AS4LOCAL 
  FROM DD02L 
  INTO @DATA(ld_active_only).

 

SELECT single TABNAME

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_errnum
 
 TYPE DDERR-ERRNUM ,
ld_active_only
 
 TYPE DD02L-AS4LOCAL ,
ld_name
 
 TYPE DD02L-TABNAME ,
ld_name2
 
 TYPE DD12L-INDEXNAME ,
ld_objtype
 
 TYPE E071-OBJECT .



SELECT single AS4LOCAL 
  FROM DD02L 
  INTO ld_active_only.


SELECT single TABNAME 
  FROM DD02L 
  INTO ld_name.


SELECT single INDEXNAME 
  FROM DD12L 
  INTO ld_name2.


SELECT single OBJECT 
  FROM E071 
  INTO ld_objtype.
