ABAP code example for Function Module DELTA_TIME_DAY_HOUR

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module DELTA_TIME_DAY_HOUR including all data declarations.

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_minutes
 
 TYPE I ,
ld_t1
 
 TYPE T ,
ld_t2
 
 TYPE T ,
ld_d1
 
 TYPE D ,
ld_d2
 
 TYPE D .


ld_t1 = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_t2 = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_d1 = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_d2 = 'Check type of data required'.
