ABAP code example for Function Module DB_GET_TRIGGERTEXT

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module DB_GET_TRIGGERTEXT 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_triggertext  
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DDTEXTDATA,"TABLES PARAM
wa_triggertext
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_triggertext
.

 

SELECT single TABNAME 
  FROM DD02L 
  INTO @DATA(ld_tabname).



DATA(ld_triggername) = some text here
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_triggertext to it_triggertext.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'DB_GET_TRIGGERTEXT'
  EXPORTING
    tabname =                    ld_tabname

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_tabname
 
 TYPE DD02L-TABNAME ,
it_triggertext
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DDTEXTDATA ,
wa_triggertext
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_triggertext,
ld_triggername
 
 TYPE DBOBJECT-OBJNAME .



SELECT single TABNAME 
  FROM DD02L 
  INTO ld_tabname.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_triggertext to it_triggertext.

ld_triggername = some text here
