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_folder_id
 
 TYPE SOODK ,
ld_owner
 
 TYPE SOUD-USRNAM ,
ld_region
 
 TYPE SOFD-FOLRG .



SELECT single USRNAM 
  FROM SOUD 
  INTO ld_owner.


SELECT single FOLRG 
  FROM SOFD 
  INTO ld_region.
