ABAP code example for Function Module TEXT_TRANSLATE





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module TEXT_TRANSLATE 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_state    TYPE STRING
,
it_iline3    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TLINE,"TABLES PARAM
wa_iline3  LIKE LINE OF it_iline3
,
it_iline4    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TLINE,"TABLES PARAM
wa_iline4  LIKE LINE OF it_iline4

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_state  TYPE STRING ,
ld_applik  TYPE STRING ,
it_iline3  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TLINE ,
wa_iline3  LIKE LINE OF it_iline3,
ld_header1  TYPE THEAD ,
it_iline4  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TLINE ,
wa_iline4  LIKE LINE OF it_iline4,
ld_header2  TYPE THEAD ,
ld_source_language  TYPE STRING ,
ld_target_language  TYPE STRING ,
ld_doku_check  TYPE I .




ld_applik = 'some text here'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_iline3 to it_iline3.
ld_header1 = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_iline4 to it_iline4.
ld_header2 = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_source_language = 'some text here'.
ld_target_language = 'some text here'.
ld_doku_check = 'Check type of data required'.
