ABAP code example for Function Module COPY_CONFIGURATION_DATA

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module COPY_CONFIGURATION_DATA 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_dest_cuobj  
 
 TYPE INOB-CUOBJ
,
ld_nr_values  
 
 TYPE SY-INDEX
.

 

SELECT single CUOBJ 
  FROM INOB 
  INTO @DATA(ld_source_cuobj).

 

SELECT single OBTAB 
  FROM INOB 
  INTO @DATA(ld_dest_object_id).

 

SELECT single ROBJEK 
  FROM INOB 
  INTO @DATA(ld_dest_object).


DATA(ld_init_configuration) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_config_type) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_date) = '20210129'.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'COPY_CONFIGURATION_DATA'
  EXPORTING

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_dest_cuobj
 
 TYPE INOB-CUOBJ ,
ld_source_cuobj
 
 TYPE INOB-CUOBJ ,
ld_nr_values
 
 TYPE SY-INDEX ,
ld_dest_object_id
 
 TYPE INOB-OBTAB ,
ld_dest_object
 
 TYPE INOB-ROBJEK ,
ld_init_configuration
 
 TYPE SY-BATCH ,
ld_config_type
 
 TYPE C ,
ld_date
 
 TYPE SY-DATUM .



SELECT single CUOBJ 
  FROM INOB 
  INTO ld_source_cuobj.


SELECT single OBTAB 
  FROM INOB 
  INTO ld_dest_object_id.


SELECT single ROBJEK 
  FROM INOB 
  INTO ld_dest_object.

ld_init_configuration = 'some text here'.
ld_config_type = 'some text here'.
ld_date = '20210129'.
