ABAP code example for Function Module SCSM_TIME_DIFF_GET

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SCSM_TIME_DIFF_GET 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_utc_end) = Check type of data required

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

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

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

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_utc_end
 
 TYPE TZONREF-TSTAMPS ,
ld_utc_start
 
 TYPE TZONREF-TSTAMPS ,
ld_seconds
 
 TYPE I ,
ld_minutes
 
 TYPE I ,
ld_hours
 
 TYPE I .



ld_utc_end = Check type of data required

ld_utc_start = Check type of data required
ld_seconds = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_minutes = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_hours = 'Check type of data required'.
