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_cr_context
 
 TYPE IF_FDT_CONTEXT ,
ld_ex_error
 
 TYPE XFELD ,
ld_iv_function_id
 
 TYPE FDT_UUID ,
ld_et_message
 
 TYPE BAPIRET2_TAB ,
ld_it_fmca_form_data
 
 TYPE FMCA_FORM_DATA_T .


ld_cr_context = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_iv_function_id = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_it_fmca_form_data = 'Check type of data required'.
