ABAP code example for Function Module HR_SPA_UPDATE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module HR_SPA_UPDATE 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_persnr) = Check type of data required
 

SELECT single EFFDA 
  FROM T5W7I 
  INTO @DATA(ld_eff_date).

 

SELECT single VARID 
  FROM T5W7I 
  INTO @DATA(ld_variant_id).

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_persnr
 
 TYPE PERNR-PERNR ,
ld_eff_date
 
 TYPE T5W7I-EFFDA ,
ld_variant_id
 
 TYPE T5W7I-VARID .



ld_persnr = Check type of data required

SELECT single EFFDA 
  FROM T5W7I 
  INTO ld_eff_date.


SELECT single VARID 
  FROM T5W7I 
  INTO ld_variant_id.
