ABAP code example for Function Module G_SET_PROTECT_HIERARCHY

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

DATA(ld_class) = some text here

DATA(ld_setname) = 'Check type of data required'.


DATA(ld_table) = some text here

DATA(ld_search_top_down) = 'some text here'.

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_class
 
 TYPE RGSMH-CLASS ,
ld_setname
 
 TYPE C ,
ld_table
 
 TYPE RGSMH-TABLE ,
ld_search_top_down
 
 TYPE SY-DATAR .



ld_class = some text here
ld_setname = 'some text here'.

ld_table = some text here
ld_search_top_down = 'some text here'.
