ABAP code example for Function Module WFA_EMPLOYEE_SAVE_DB





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module WFA_EMPLOYEE_SAVE_DB 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).

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_is_employee_data  TYPE WFA_TS_EMPLOYEE_SAVE ,
ld_it_obj_occurrences  TYPE WFA_TST_OBJECT_OCCURRENCES ,
ld_iv_call_in_upd_task  TYPE WFA_BOOLEAN .

ld_is_employee_data = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_it_obj_occurrences = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_iv_call_in_upd_task = 'Check type of data required'.
