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_i_string  TYPE STRING ,
it_et_table  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TABLE ,
wa_et_table  LIKE LINE OF it_et_table,
ld_i_tabline_length  TYPE I .




ld_i_string = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_et_table to it_et_table.
ld_i_tabline_length = 'Check type of data required'.
