ABAP code example for Function Module READ_SKB1

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module READ_SKB1 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_xskb1  
 
 TYPE SKB1
.

 

SELECT single BUKRS 
  FROM SKB1 
  INTO @DATA(ld_xbukrs).

 

SELECT single SAKNR 
  FROM SKB1 
  INTO @DATA(ld_xsaknr).

.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_SKB1'
  EXPORTING
    xbukrs =                     ld_xbukrs
    xsaknr =                     ld_xsaknr
  IMPORTING
    xskb1 =                      ld_xskb1

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_xskb1
 
 TYPE SKB1 ,
ld_xbukrs
 
 TYPE SKB1-BUKRS ,
ld_xsaknr
 
 TYPE SKB1-SAKNR .



SELECT single BUKRS 
  FROM SKB1 
  INTO ld_xbukrs.


SELECT single SAKNR 
  FROM SKB1 
  INTO ld_xsaknr.
