ABAP code example for Function Module UPC_VARIABLE_INIT





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module UPC_VARIABLE_INIT 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_e_repid    TYPE SY-REPID
,
ld_e_dynnr    TYPE SY-DYNNR
,
ld_et_mesg    TYPE UPC_YT_MESG
.




DATA(ld_i_fcode) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_i_area) = 'some text here'.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'UPC_VARIABLE_INIT'
  EXPORTING
    i_fcode =                    ld_i_fcode
*   i_area =                     ld_i_area
  IMPORTING
    e_repid =                    ld_e_repid
    e_dynnr =                    ld_e_dynnr
    et_mesg =                    ld_et_mesg
  EXCEPTIONS
    ERROR_INIT =                 1

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_e_repid  TYPE SY-REPID ,
ld_i_fcode  TYPE SY-UCOMM ,
ld_e_dynnr  TYPE SY-DYNNR ,
ld_i_area  TYPE UPC_Y_AREA ,
ld_et_mesg  TYPE UPC_YT_MESG .




ld_i_fcode = 'some text here'.
ld_i_area = 'some text here'.
