ABAP code example for Function Module OBJ_MAINTENANCE

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

 

SELECT single OBJECTNAME 
  FROM OBJH 
  INTO @DATA(ld_iv_objectname).

 

SELECT single OBJECTTYPE 
  FROM OBJH 
  INTO @DATA(ld_iv_objecttype).


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

CALL FUNCTION 'OBJ_MAINTENANCE'
  EXPORTING
    iv_objectname =              ld_iv_objectname
    iv_objecttype =              ld_iv_objecttype
*   iv_action =                  ld_iv_action
  EXCEPTIONS
    ILLEGAL_CALL =               1

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_iv_objectname
 
 TYPE OBJH-OBJECTNAME ,
ld_iv_objecttype
 
 TYPE OBJH-OBJECTTYPE ,
ld_iv_action
 
 TYPE C .



SELECT single OBJECTNAME 
  FROM OBJH 
  INTO ld_iv_objectname.


SELECT single OBJECTTYPE 
  FROM OBJH 
  INTO ld_iv_objecttype.

ld_iv_action = 'Check type of data required'.
