ABAP code example for Function Module MEREP_RUN_START





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module MEREP_RUN_START 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_runnum    TYPE MEREP_601-RUNNUM
,

,
ld_snd_control_record    TYPE MEREP_610
.



 

SELECT single DIRECTION 
  FROM MEREP_503 
  INTO @DATA(ld_direction).


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

CALL FUNCTION 'MEREP_RUN_START'
  EXPORTING

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_runnum  TYPE MEREP_601-RUNNUM ,
ld_direction  TYPE MEREP_503-DIRECTION ,
ld_rec_control_record  TYPE MEREP_607 ,
ld_log_parameters  TYPE MEREP_LOG_PARAMETER ,
ld_hnd_control_record  TYPE MEREP_608 ,
ld_snd_control_record  TYPE MEREP_610 .





SELECT single DIRECTION 
  FROM MEREP_503 
  INTO ld_direction.

ld_log_parameters = 'Check type of data required'.
