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_output_length  TYPE I ,
ld_input_length  TYPE I ,
it_ftext_tab  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING ,
wa_ftext_tab  LIKE LINE OF it_ftext_tab,
ld_first_line  TYPE I ,
it_binary_tab  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING ,
wa_binary_tab  LIKE LINE OF it_binary_tab,
ld_last_line  TYPE I ,
ld_append_to_table  TYPE C ,
ld_mimetype  TYPE C ,
ld_encoding  TYPE ABAP_ENCODING .




ld_input_length = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_ftext_tab to it_ftext_tab.
ld_first_line = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
