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_type
 
 TYPE DCOBJBEZ-TYPE ,
ld_object
 
 TYPE E071-OBJECT ,
ld_name
 
 TYPE DCOBJBEZ-NAME ,
ld_obj_name
 
 TYPE E071-OBJ_NAME ,
ld_id
 
 TYPE DCOBJBEZ-ID .



SELECT single OBJECT 
  FROM E071 
  INTO ld_object.


SELECT single OBJ_NAME 
  FROM E071 
  INTO ld_obj_name.
