ABAP code example for Function Module SO_USER_ID_GET

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SO_USER_ID_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_user_id  
 
 TYPE SOUDK
,
ld_user_id

SELECT single USRNAM 
  FROM SOUD 
  INTO @DATA(ld_user_name).

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_user_id
 
 TYPE SOUDK ,
ld_user_id
 
 TYPE SOUDK ,
ld_user_name
 
 TYPE SOUD-USRNAM .



SELECT single USRNAM 
  FROM SOUD 
  INTO ld_user_name.
