ABAP code example for Function Module PCA_BLOCK_ADD

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module PCA_BLOCK_ADD 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_et_return  
 
 TYPE BUS_PCA_BAPI-RETURN_TABLE
,
ld_ev_error  
 
 TYPE BUS_PCA_BAPI-ERROR
.


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

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

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

CALL FUNCTION 'PCA_BLOCK_ADD'
  EXPORTING
    iv_card_guid =               ld_iv_card_guid
    is_data =                    ld_is_data

  IMPORTING

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_et_return
 
 TYPE BUS_PCA_BAPI-RETURN_TABLE ,
ld_iv_card_guid
 
 TYPE CARD_GUID ,
ld_ev_error
 
 TYPE BUS_PCA_BAPI-ERROR ,
ld_is_data
 
 TYPE PCAT_BUS_BLOCK ,
ld_iv_x_save
 
 TYPE C .


ld_iv_card_guid = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_is_data = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_iv_x_save = 'Check type of data required'.
