ABAP code example for Function Module LOAD_PRINTER





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module LOAD_PRINTER 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_printer_header    TYPE ITCPA
,
ld_result    TYPE ITCRS
,
it_barcodes    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ITCPB,"TABLES PARAM
wa_barcodes  LIKE LINE OF it_barcodes
,
it_fonts    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ITCPF,"TABLES PARAM
wa_fonts  LIKE LINE OF it_fonts
.





DATA(ld_printer) = some text here

DATA(ld_force_update) = 'Check type of data required'.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_barcodes to it_barcodes.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_fonts to it_fonts.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'LOAD_PRINTER'
  EXPORTING
    printer =                    ld_printer
*   force_update =               ld_force_update
  IMPORTING
    printer_header =             ld_printer_header
    result =                     ld_result
  TABLES
    barcodes =                   it_barcodes
    fonts =                      it_fonts

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_printer_header  TYPE ITCPA ,
ld_printer  TYPE ITCPA-TDPRINTER ,
it_barcodes  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ITCPB ,
wa_barcodes  LIKE LINE OF it_barcodes,
ld_result  TYPE ITCRS ,
ld_force_update  TYPE C ,
it_fonts  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ITCPF ,
wa_fonts  LIKE LINE OF it_fonts.





ld_printer = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_barcodes to it_barcodes.
ld_force_update = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_fonts to it_fonts.
