ABAP code example for Function Module MSS_GET_BACKUP_HIST

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module MSS_GET_BACKUP_HIST 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).

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_dcode
 
 TYPE MSQIMPORT-FREQTYP ,
it_backup_hist
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF MSQBACKSET ,
wa_backup_hist
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_backup_hist,
ld_bkperiod
 
 TYPE MSQIMPORT-FREQTYP ,
ld_con_name
 
 TYPE DBCON-CON_NAME ,
ld_schema
 
 TYPE MSSSCHEMA .



ld_dcode = 123  

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_backup_hist to it_backup_hist.

ld_bkperiod = 123 

SELECT single CON_NAME 
  FROM DBCON 
  INTO ld_con_name.
