ABAP code example for Function Module TB_REF_REFERENCE_CREATE_POST

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module TB_REF_REFERENCE_CREATE_POST 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_exp_refnr
 
 TYPE REFON-REFNR ,
ld_imp_reftyp
 
 TYPE REFON-REFTYP ,
it_t_refon
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF REFON ,
wa_t_refon
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_t_refon,
ld_imp_refh
 
 TYPE REFH .



SELECT single REFTYP 
  FROM REFON 
  INTO ld_imp_reftyp.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_t_refon to it_t_refon.
ld_imp_refh = 'Check type of data required'.
