ABAP code example for Function Module EMUL_POSTING_DATE_GET

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module EMUL_POSTING_DATE_GET 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).

SELECT single BUKRS 
  FROM VDARL 
  INTO @DATA(ld_i_bukrs).

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_posting_date
 
 TYPE VDBEKI-DBUDAT ,
ld_i_bukrs
 
 TYPE VDARL-BUKRS ,
ld_i_ranl
 
 TYPE VDARL-RANL ,
ld_i_vdarl
 
 TYPE VDARL .



SELECT single BUKRS 
  FROM VDARL 
  INTO ld_i_bukrs.


SELECT single RANL 
  FROM VDARL 
  INTO ld_i_ranl.

ld_i_vdarl = 'Check type of data required'.
