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_user_name
 
 TYPE WPUSER ,
it_role_countries
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF WPROLECTRY ,
wa_role_countries
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_role_countries,
ld_language
 
 TYPE LANG_KEY .


ld_user_name = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_role_countries to it_role_countries.
ld_language = 'Check type of data required'.
