ABAP code example for Function Module SDU_MODEL_EDIT_CALL

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SDU_MODEL_EDIT_CALL 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).

 

SELECT single AS4LOCAL 
  FROM DM40L 
  INTO @DATA(ld_as4local).

 

SELECT single DMOID 
  FROM DM40L 
  INTO @DATA(ld_dmoid).


DATA(ld_display) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_langu) = '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_as4local
 
 TYPE DM40L-AS4LOCAL ,
ld_dmoid
 
 TYPE DM40L-DMOID ,
ld_display
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_langu
 
 TYPE SY-LANGU .



SELECT single AS4LOCAL 
  FROM DM40L 
  INTO ld_as4local.


SELECT single DMOID 
  FROM DM40L 
  INTO ld_dmoid.

ld_display = 'some text here'.
ld_langu = 'Check type of data required'.
