ABAP code example for Function Module SSFC_GETCERTIFICATE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SSFC_GETCERTIFICATE 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_certificate  
 
 TYPE SSFCERT
.



DATA(ld_profile) = some text here


DATA(ld_profilepw) = some text here

DATA(ld_subject) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_issuer) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_serialno) = 'some text here'.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'SSFC_GETCERTIFICATE'
  EXPORTING
    profile =                    ld_profile

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_certificate
 
 TYPE SSFCERT ,
ld_profile
 
 TYPE SSFPARMS-PAB ,
ld_profilepw
 
 TYPE SSFPARMS-PABPW ,
ld_subject
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_issuer
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_serialno
 
 TYPE STRING .



ld_profile = some text here

ld_profilepw = some text here
ld_subject = 'some text here'.
ld_issuer = 'some text here'.
ld_serialno = 'some text here'.
