ABAP code example for Function Module PROJECT_EXISTS

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module PROJECT_EXISTS 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_project_exists  
 
 TYPE SIPRSCR-WF_PRO_EX
,
ld_project_type  
 
 TYPE TCUSP-PRO_TYPE
.

 

SELECT single PRONR 
  FROM TCUSP 
  INTO @DATA(ld_project).

.

CALL FUNCTION 'PROJECT_EXISTS'
  EXPORTING
    project =                    ld_project
  IMPORTING
    project_exists =             ld_project_exists
    project_type =               ld_project_type
    .  "  PROJECT_EXISTS

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
  "All OK
ENDIF.

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_project_exists
 
 TYPE SIPRSCR-WF_PRO_EX ,
ld_project
 
 TYPE TCUSP-PRONR ,
ld_project_type
 
 TYPE TCUSP-PRO_TYPE .



SELECT single PRONR 
  FROM TCUSP 
  INTO ld_project.
