ABAP code example for Function Module SDIXML_ATOMTYPE_TO_STRING

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SDIXML_ATOMTYPE_TO_STRING 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_stringrep  
 
 TYPE STRING

DATA(ld_datatype) = some text here


DATA(ld_leng) = Check type of data required


DATA(ld_decimals) = 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_stringrep
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_datatype
 
 TYPE DFIES-DATATYPE ,
ld_leng
 
 TYPE DFIES-LENG ,
ld_decimals
 
 TYPE DFIES-DECIMALS ,
ld_leng_separator
 
 TYPE CLIKE ,
ld_decimals_separator
 
 TYPE CLIKE .



ld_datatype = some text here

ld_leng = Check type of data required

ld_decimals = Check type of data required
ld_leng_separator = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_decimals_separator = 'Check type of data required'.
