ABAP code example for Function Module BAPI_DIALOG





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module BAPI_DIALOG 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_bapiname    TYPE RS38L_FNAM
,
ld_destination    TYPE SYST-SYSID
.




DATA(ld_program) = '20210129'.

DATA(ld_dynnr) = 'some text here'.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DIALOG'
* EXPORTING
*   program =                    ld_program
*   dynnr =                      ld_dynnr
  IMPORTING
    bapiname =                   ld_bapiname
    destination =                ld_destination
  EXCEPTIONS
    NO_CONNECTION =              1
    NOT_FOUND =                  2
    .  "  BAPI_DIALOG

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
  "All OK
ELSEIF SY-SUBRC EQ 1. "Exception
  "Add code for exception here
ELSEIF SY-SUBRC EQ 2. "Exception
  "Add code for exception here
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_bapiname  TYPE RS38L_FNAM ,
ld_program  TYPE SYREPID ,
ld_destination  TYPE SYST-SYSID ,
ld_dynnr  TYPE SYDYNNR .




ld_program = 'some text here'.
ld_dynnr = 'some text here'.
