ABAP code example for Function Module SO_WIND_PATH





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SO_WIND_PATH 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_folder_id_new  TYPE SOFDK ,
ld_hier_level  TYPE SY-TABIX .

DATA(ld_folder_id) = 'Check type of data required'. . CALL FUNCTION 'SO_WIND_PATH' EXPORTING folder_id = ld_folder_id IMPORTING folder_id_new = ld_folder_id_new hier_level = ld_hier_level EXCEPTIONS FOLDER_NOT_EXIST = 1 . " SO_WIND_PATH

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_new  TYPE SOFDK ,
ld_folder_id  TYPE SOFDK ,
ld_hier_level  TYPE SY-TABIX .

ld_folder_id = 'Check type of data required'.
