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_xabwtyp
 
 TYPE TEXT60 ,
ld_i_sanlf
 
 TYPE VTBFHA-SANLF ,
ld_i_sfgtyp
 
 TYPE VTBFHA-SFGTYP ,
ld_i_abwtyp
 
 TYPE VTBFHA-ABWTYP ,
ld_i_langu
 
 TYPE SY-LANGU .



SELECT single SANLF 
  FROM VTBFHA 
  INTO ld_i_sanlf.


SELECT single SFGTYP 
  FROM VTBFHA 
  INTO ld_i_sfgtyp.


SELECT single ABWTYP
