ABAP code example for Function Module EDI_SEGMENT_CREATE





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module EDI_SEGMENT_CREATE 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_as_child    TYPE TIDOC_BOOL
,
ld_created    TYPE SED5STRUC-CHANGED
,
ld_nodetype    TYPE SEUCOMM-TYPE
,
ld_segtyp    TYPE SED5ATTR-SEGTYP
,
it_i_attributes    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SED5ATTR,"TABLES PARAM
wa_i_attributes  LIKE LINE OF it_i_attributes
.




DATA(ld_flags) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_node) = 'Check type of data required'.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_i_attributes to it_i_attributes.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'EDI_SEGMENT_CREATE'
  EXPORTING
    flags =                      ld_flags
    node =                       ld_node
  IMPORTING
    as_child =                   ld_as_child
    created =                    ld_created
    nodetype =                   ld_nodetype
    segtyp =                     ld_segtyp
  TABLES
    i_attributes =               it_i_attributes
    .  "  EDI_SEGMENT_CREATE

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
  "All OK
ENDIF.







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_as_child  TYPE TIDOC_BOOL ,
ld_flags  TYPE SED5STRUC ,
it_i_attributes  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SED5ATTR ,
wa_i_attributes  LIKE LINE OF it_i_attributes,
ld_created  TYPE SED5STRUC-CHANGED ,
ld_node  TYPE SEUCOMM ,
ld_nodetype  TYPE SEUCOMM-TYPE ,
ld_segtyp  TYPE SED5ATTR-SEGTYP .




ld_flags = 'Check type of data required'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_i_attributes to it_i_attributes.
ld_node = 'Check type of data required'.
