ABAP code example for Function Module MDM_METADATA_GET





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module MDM_METADATA_GET 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_e_s_extrhead    TYPE MDM01_S_EXTRHEAD
,
ld_e_t_extrgrp    TYPE MDM01_T_EXTRGRP
,
ld_e_t_extrfld    TYPE MDM01_T_EXTRFLD

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_e_s_extrhead  TYPE MDM01_S_EXTRHEAD ,
ld_i_extobj  TYPE MDM01_S_EXTRHEAD-EXTROBJECT ,
ld_e_t_extrgrp  TYPE MDM01_T_EXTRGRP ,
ld_i_objvers  TYPE MDM01_S_EXTRHEAD-OBJVERS ,
ld_e_t_extrfld  TYPE MDM01_T_EXTRFLD ,
ld_i_contvers  TYPE MDM01_S_EXTRHEAD-CONTVERS .
