ABAP code example for Function Module ARCHIVE_CONVERSION_FORMROUTINE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module ARCHIVE_CONVERSION_FORMROUTINE 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_program_pool  
 
 TYPE SY-REPID
,
ld_formroutine  
 
 TYPE SY-XFORM
.


DATA(ld_archive_handle) = '123 '.


DATA(ld_record_structure) = some text here
.

CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_CONVERSION_FORMROUTINE'
  EXPORTING
    archive_handle =             ld_archive_handle

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_program_pool
 
 TYPE SY-REPID ,
ld_archive_handle
 
 TYPE SY-TABIX ,
ld_formroutine
 
 TYPE SY-XFORM ,
ld_record_structure
 
 TYPE DFIES-TABNAME .


ld_archive_handle = '123 '.

ld_record_structure = some text here
