ABAP code example for Function Module EDI_SEGMENTS_ADD_BLOCK

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module EDI_SEGMENTS_ADD_BLOCK 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:
it_idoc_containers  
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF EDIDD,"TABLES PARAM
wa_idoc_containers
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_idoc_containers
.

 

SELECT single DOCNUM 
  FROM EDIDC 
  INTO @DATA(ld_identifier).

 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_idoc_containers to it_idoc_containers.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'EDI_SEGMENTS_ADD_BLOCK'

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_identifier
 
 TYPE EDIDC-DOCNUM ,
it_idoc_containers
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF EDIDD ,
wa_idoc_containers
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_idoc_containers.



SELECT single DOCNUM 
  FROM EDIDC 
  INTO ld_identifier.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_idoc_containers to it_idoc_containers.
