ABAP code example for Function Module RHEO_EXIST_EXTOBJ

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module RHEO_EXIST_EXTOBJ 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_subrc  
 
 TYPE SYSUBRC
.


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

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

SELECT single BEGDA 
  FROM PLOG 
  INTO @DATA(ld_begda).

 

SELECT single ENDDA 
  FROM PLOG 
  INTO @DATA(ld_endda).

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_subrc
 
 TYPE SYSUBRC ,
ld_otype
 
 TYPE OTYPE ,
ld_realo
 
 TYPE REALO ,
ld_begda
 
 TYPE PLOG-BEGDA ,
ld_endda
 
 TYPE PLOG-ENDDA .


ld_otype = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_realo = 'Check type of data required'.

SELECT single BEGDA 
  FROM PLOG 
  INTO ld_begda.


SELECT single ENDDA 
  FROM PLOG 
  INTO ld_endda.
