ABAP code example for Function Module GET_PRM_DESCRIPTION





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module GET_PRM_DESCRIPTION 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_material_long    TYPE PPE_MATERIAL_LONG
,
ld_location    TYPE PPE_LOCATION
,
ld_ppe_name    TYPE PPE_NAME
.




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

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRM_DESCRIPTION'
  EXPORTING
    header_id =                  ld_header_id
  IMPORTING
    material_long =              ld_material_long
    location =                   ld_location
    ppe_name =                   ld_ppe_name
    .  "  GET_PRM_DESCRIPTION

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_material_long  TYPE PPE_MATERIAL_LONG ,
ld_header_id  TYPE PVS_GUID_EXT ,
ld_location  TYPE PPE_LOCATION ,
ld_ppe_name  TYPE PPE_NAME .




ld_header_id = 'Check type of data required'.
