ABAP code example for Function Module ADDRESS_SEARCH





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module ADDRESS_SEARCH 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_addr_number    TYPE SADR-ADRNR
,
ld_addr_version    TYPE SADR-NATIO
,
ld_ret_code    TYPE SY-SUBRC
.



 

SELECT single MCID 
  FROM DD23L 
  INTO @DATA(ld_mc_id_in).

 

SELECT single MCONAME 
  FROM DD23L 
  INTO @DATA(ld_mc_obj_in).

.

CALL FUNCTION 'ADDRESS_SEARCH'
* EXPORTING
*   mc_id_in =                   ld_mc_id_in
*   mc_obj_in =                  ld_mc_obj_in
  IMPORTING
    addr_number =                ld_addr_number
    addr_version =               ld_addr_version
    ret_code =                   ld_ret_code
    .  "  ADDRESS_SEARCH

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
  "All OK
ENDIF.







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_addr_number  TYPE SADR-ADRNR ,
ld_mc_id_in  TYPE DD23L-MCID ,
ld_addr_version  TYPE SADR-NATIO ,
ld_mc_obj_in  TYPE DD23L-MCONAME ,
ld_ret_code  TYPE SY-SUBRC .





SELECT single MCID 
  FROM DD23L 
  INTO ld_mc_id_in.


SELECT single MCONAME 
  FROM DD23L 
  INTO ld_mc_obj_in.
