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_select_value
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_display
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_fieldname
 
 TYPE HELP_INFO-FIELDNAME ,
ld_input_value
 
 TYPE HELP_INFO-FLDVALUE ,
ld_matchcode_object
 
 TYPE HELP_INFO-MCOBJ ,
ld_tabname
 
 TYPE HELP_INFO-TABNAME .


ld_display = 'some text here'.

ld_fieldname = some text here
