ABAP code example for Function Module F4_DD_ABAP_TABLE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module F4_DD_ABAP_TABLE including all data declarations.

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).

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_result
 
 TYPE DD02V-TABNAME ,
ld_object
 
 TYPE DD02V-TABNAME ,
it_multiple_objects
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF RSEUI_F4 ,
wa_multiple_objects
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_multiple_objects,
ld_suppress_selection
 
 TYPE SY-INPUT ,
ld_display_only
 
 TYPE SY-INPUT ,
ld_multiple_selection
 
 TYPE SY-INPUT .



SELECT single TABNAME 
  FROM DD02V 
  INTO ld_object.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_multiple_objects to it_multiple_objects.
ld_suppress_selection = 'some text here'.
