ABAP code example for Function Module BM_OBJECT_STRUCT_DESCR_CREATE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module BM_OBJECT_STRUCT_DESCR_CREATE 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).

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_r_object
 
 TYPE BMOBJECT ,
ld_e_struct_descr
 
 TYPE TTREET ,
ld_i_object_type
 
 TYPE BMOBJECT-TYPE ,
ld_i_object_id
 
 TYPE BMOBJECT-ID ,
ld_i_language
 
 TYPE SY-LANGU .


ld_r_object = 'Check type of data required'.

ld_i_object_type = some text here

ld_i_object_id = some text here
ld_i_language = 'Check type of data required'.
