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_nast_record
 
 TYPE NAST ,
it_i_edidc
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF EDIDC ,
wa_i_edidc
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_i_edidc,
ld_error_flag
 
 TYPE EDI_HELP-ERROR_FLAG ,
ld_port_description
 
 TYPE EDIPOF .


ld_nast_record = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_i_edidc to it_i_edidc.

ld_error_flag = some text here
ld_port_description = 'Check type of data required'.
