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_c_processed
 
 TYPE RS_BOOL ,
ld_e_t_tablnm
 
 TYPE RSDU_T_TABLNM ,
ld_i_prefix
 
 TYPE RSD_TABLNM .


ld_c_processed = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_prefix = 'Check type of data required'.
