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_ntabpart
 
 TYPE TUNEHD-NAME ,
it_contents
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF NTABCONTNT ,
wa_contents
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_contents.



ld_ntabpart = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_contents to it_contents.
