ABAP code example for Function Module DEV_CLASSIFY_OBJECT





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module DEV_CLASSIFY_OBJECT 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_e_object_kind    TYPE CHAR10
.




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

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

CALL FUNCTION 'DEV_CLASSIFY_OBJECT'
  EXPORTING
    i_pgmid =                    ld_i_pgmid
    i_object =                   ld_i_object
  IMPORTING
    e_object_kind =              ld_e_object_kind
    .  "  DEV_CLASSIFY_OBJECT

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
  "All OK
ENDIF.







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_e_object_kind  TYPE CHAR10 ,
ld_i_pgmid  TYPE PGMID ,
ld_i_object  TYPE TROBJTYPE .




ld_i_pgmid = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_object = 'Check type of data required'.
