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_y_workflow_id  TYPE SWWWIHEAD-WI_ID ,
ld_x_task  TYPE SWWWIHEAD-WI_RH_TASK ,

wa_x_container  LIKE LINE OF it_x_container,
ld_x_start_date  TYPE SWWWIDEADL-WI_DSD ,
it_x_agents  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SWHACTOR ,
wa_x_agents  LIKE LINE OF it_x_agents,
ld_x_start_time  TYPE SWWWIDEADL-WI_DST .





SELECT single WI_RH_TASK 
  FROM SWWWIHEAD 
  INTO ld_x_task.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_x_container to it_x_container.

SELECT single WI_DSD
