ABAP code example for Function Module FORMPAINTER_CREATE_DIALOG





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module FORMPAINTER_CREATE_DIALOG 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:


ld_handle  TYPE CNTL_HANDLE ,
ld_e_grid_step  TYPE F ,
ld_owner_repid  TYPE SY-REPID ,
ld_dynnr  TYPE SY-DYNNR ,
ld_left  TYPE I ,
ld_top  TYPE I ,
ld_pageformat  TYPE ITCTA-TDPAGEFORM ,
ld_orientation  TYPE ITCTA-TDPAGEORTN ,
ld_cpi  TYPE ITCTA-TDCPI ,
ld_lpi  TYPE ITCTA-TDLPI ,
ld_zoom_percent  TYPE I ,
ld_grid_step  TYPE F ,
ld_grid_unit  TYPE ITCTH-TDWLEFTU ,
ld_grid_smallstep  TYPE F .




ld_handle = 'some text here'.
