ABAP code example for Function Module CAT_VARIANT_EDIT

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module CAT_VARIANT_EDIT 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_rcode  
 
 TYPE SY-SUBRC
,
ld_varnt  
 
 TYPE CATU-VARNT
.

 

SELECT single ABLNR 
  FROM CATA 
  INTO @DATA(ld_ablnr).

CALL FUNCTION 'CAT_VARIANT_EDIT'

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_rcode
 
 TYPE SY-SUBRC ,
ld_ablnr
 
 TYPE CATA-ABLNR ,
ld_varnt
 
 TYPE CATU-VARNT ,
ld_show
 
 TYPE RSCAT-B_SHOW .



SELECT single ABLNR 
  FROM CATA 
  INTO ld_ablnr.
