ABAP code example for Function Module RSSM_UNIQUE_ID





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module RSSM_UNIQUE_ID 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_uni_idx  TYPE RSGENERAL-UNI_IDX ,
ld_e_uni_idc  TYPE RSGENERAL-UNI_IDC ,
ld_e_uni_idc25  TYPE RSGENERAL-UNI_IDC25 ,
ld_e_uni_short  TYPE C ,
ld_e_uni_number  TYPE N ,
ld_e_random  TYPE I .

DATA(ld_i_no_srequidcheck) = 'Check type of data required'. . CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_UNIQUE_ID' * EXPORTING * i_no_srequidcheck = ld_i_no_srequidcheck IMPORTING e_uni_idx = ld_e_uni_idx e_uni_idc = ld_e_uni_idc e_uni_idc25 = ld_e_uni_idc25 e_uni_short = ld_e_uni_short e_uni_number = ld_e_uni_number e_random = ld_e_random .

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_uni_idx  TYPE RSGENERAL-UNI_IDX ,
ld_i_no_srequidcheck  TYPE RS_BOOL ,
ld_e_uni_idc  TYPE RSGENERAL-UNI_IDC ,
ld_e_uni_idc25  TYPE RSGENERAL-UNI_IDC25 ,
ld_e_uni_short  TYPE C ,
ld_e_uni_number  TYPE N ,
ld_e_random  TYPE I .

ld_i_no_srequidcheck = 'Check type of data required'.
