ABAP code example for Function Module TCS19_READ

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module TCS19_READ 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_struct  
 
 TYPE TCS19
,
ld_text  
 
 TYPE TCS20-OBTTX
.

 

SELECT single OBJTY 
  FROM TCS19 
  INTO @DATA(ld_objty).

 

SELECT single SPRAS 
  FROM TCS20 
  INTO @DATA(ld_spras).

CALL FUNCTION 'TCS19_READ'
  EXPORTING
    objty =                      ld_objty

  IMPORTING

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_struct
 
 TYPE TCS19 ,
ld_objty
 
 TYPE TCS19-OBJTY ,
ld_text
 
 TYPE TCS20-OBTTX ,
ld_spras
 
 TYPE TCS20-SPRAS .



SELECT single OBJTY 
  FROM TCS19 
  INTO ld_objty.


SELECT single SPRAS 
  FROM TCS20 
  INTO ld_spras.
