The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module RSDG_CHACONST_CONV_TO_EXT 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_e_chaconst_ext    TYPE CLIKE
.




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

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

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

CALL FUNCTION 'RSDG_CHACONST_CONV_TO_EXT'
  EXPORTING
    i_convexit =                 ld_i_convexit

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_e_chaconst_ext  TYPE CLIKE ,
ld_i_convexit  TYPE CONVEXIT ,
ld_i_intlen  TYPE DDLENG ,
ld_i_chaconst_int  TYPE CLIKE .




ld_i_convexit = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_intlen = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_chaconst_int = 'Check type of data required'.
