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_history_entry
 
 TYPE DRP_SMTC_HLIST ,
it_metric_results
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DRPSM_RES_LIST ,
wa_metric_results
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_metric_results,
ld_no_compress
 
 TYPE DRP_BOOLEAN ,
it_new_hist
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DRP_SMTC_HIST ,
wa_new_hist
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_new_hist.


ld_history_entry = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_metric_results to it_metric_results.
ld_no_compress = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_new_hist to it_new_hist.
