ABAP code example for Function Module ST_STAGE_INIT_WA

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

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_e_xvtts
 
 TYPE VTTSVB ,
ld_i_mandt
 
 TYPE VTTSVB-MANDT ,
ld_i_tknum
 
 TYPE VTTSVB-TKNUM ,
ld_i_tstyp
 
 TYPE VTTSVB-TSTYP ,
ld_i_elupd
 
 TYPE VTTSVB-ELUPD .



ld_i_mandt = Check type of data required

ld_i_tknum = some text here

ld_i_tstyp = some text here

ld_i_elupd = some text here
