ABAP code example for Function Module FTP_SERVER_TO_R3

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 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).

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_blob_length
 
 TYPE I ,
ld_handle
 
 TYPE I ,
it_blob
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING ,
wa_blob
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_blob,
ld_fname
 
 TYPE C ,

 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING ,

 LIKE LINE OF it_text,

 TYPE C .


ld_handle = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_blob to it_blob.
ld_fname = 'Check type of data required'.
