ABAP code example for Function Module BAPI_CLASS_EXISTENCECHECK





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module BAPI_CLASS_EXISTENCECHECK 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:
it_return    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPIRET2,"TABLES PARAM
wa_return  LIKE LINE OF it_return
.





DATA(ld_classtype) = some text here


DATA(ld_classnum) = some text here
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_return to it_return.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_CLASS_EXISTENCECHECK'
  EXPORTING
    classtype =                  ld_classtype
    classnum =                   ld_classnum
  TABLES
    return =                     it_return
    .  "  BAPI_CLASS_EXISTENCECHECK

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_classtype  TYPE BAPI_CLASS_KEY-CLASSTYPE ,
it_return  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPIRET2 ,
wa_return  LIKE LINE OF it_return,
ld_classnum  TYPE BAPI_CLASS_KEY-CLASSNUM .





ld_classtype = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_return to it_return.

ld_classnum = some text here
