ABAP code example for Function Module SWD_GET_WORKFLOW_TASKS

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SWD_GET_WORKFLOW_TASKS 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:

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_act_task
 
 TYPE SWD_AHEAD-TASK ,
it_tasks
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SWD_ITASKS ,
wa_tasks
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_tasks,
ld_act_wfdkey
 
 TYPE SWD_WFDKEY ,
ld_buffered_access_forced
 
 TYPE SY-INPUT .



ld_act_task = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_tasks to it_tasks.
ld_act_wfdkey = 'some text here'.
ld_buffered_access_forced = 'some text here'.
