ABAP code example for Function Module EDT_ALE_GENERATE_FUNC

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module EDT_ALE_GENERATE_FUNC 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).

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:

 TYPE RS38L-NAME ,
ld_repid
 
 TYPE KCDSM-REPID ,
ld_grpid
 
 TYPE KCDSM-GRPID ,
ld_write_log
 
 TYPE C ,
ld_destination_name
 
 TYPE RFCDEST .



SELECT single REPID 
  FROM KCDSM 
  INTO ld_repid.


SELECT single GRPID
