ABAP code example for Function Module UNIT_CONVERSION_WITH_FACTOR

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module UNIT_CONVERSION_WITH_FACTOR 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_output  
 
 TYPE STRING
.


DATA(ld_add_const) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_denominator) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_input) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_numerator) = 'some text here'.

CALL FUNCTION 'UNIT_CONVERSION_WITH_FACTOR'
  EXPORTING

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_output
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_add_const
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_denominator
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_input
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_numerator
 
 TYPE STRING .


ld_add_const = 'some text here'.
ld_denominator = 'some text here'.
ld_input = 'some text here'.
ld_numerator = 'some text here'.
