ABAP code example for Function Module UPB_DATA_MD_IMPORT_CHAR

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module UPB_DATA_MD_IMPORT_CHAR 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_es_mesg_success  
 
 TYPE UPC_YS_MESG
.


DATA(ld_i_area) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_i_chanm) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_i_mode) = 'Check type of data required'.

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_es_mesg_success
 
 TYPE UPC_YS_MESG ,
ld_i_area
 
 TYPE UPC_Y_AREA ,
ld_i_chanm
 
 TYPE UPC_Y_CHANM ,
ld_i_mode
 
 TYPE CHAR1 .


ld_i_area = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_chanm = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_mode = 'Check type of data required'.
