ABAP code example for Function Module DEV_GET_OBJECT_CLASS

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module DEV_GET_OBJECT_CLASS 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_class  
 
 TYPE CHAR10
.


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

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

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

CALL FUNCTION 'DEV_GET_OBJECT_CLASS'
  EXPORTING
    i_pgmid =                    ld_i_pgmid
    i_objtype =                  ld_i_objtype
    i_objname =                  ld_i_objname
  IMPORTING

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_class
 
 TYPE CHAR10 ,
ld_i_pgmid
 
 TYPE PGMID ,
ld_i_objtype
 
 TYPE TROBJTYPE ,
ld_i_objname
 
 TYPE SOBJ_NAME .


ld_i_pgmid = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_objtype = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_objname = 'Check type of data required'.
