ABAP code example for Function Module ICL_NODE_SEARCH





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module ICL_NODE_SEARCH 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_eo_result  TYPE CL_NAVTREE_ICL .

DATA(ld_i_nodecat) = 'Check type of data required'.
DATA(ld_i_nodeid) = 'Check type of data required'.
DATA(ld_i_actsubcl) = 'Check type of data required'. . CALL FUNCTION 'ICL_NODE_SEARCH' EXPORTING i_nodecat = ld_i_nodecat * i_nodeid = ld_i_nodeid * i_actsubcl = ld_i_actsubcl IMPORTING eo_result = ld_eo_result EXCEPTIONS NO_NAVTREE = 1 NONE_FOUND = 2 . " ICL_NODE_SEARCH
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0. "All OK ELSEIF SY-SUBRC EQ 1. "Exception "Add code for exception here ELSEIF SY-SUBRC EQ 2. "Exception "Add code for exception here ENDIF.







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_eo_result  TYPE CL_NAVTREE_ICL ,
ld_i_nodecat  TYPE ICL_NODECAT ,
ld_i_nodeid  TYPE ICL_NODEID ,
ld_i_actsubcl  TYPE ICL_SUBCL_SEL .

ld_i_nodecat = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_nodeid = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_actsubcl = 'Check type of data required'.
