ABAP code example for Function Module G_CLIENT_DECODE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module G_CLIENT_DECODE 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_mmm  
 
 TYPE SY-MANDT
.


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

CALL FUNCTION 'G_CLIENT_DECODE'
  EXPORTING
    mm =                         ld_mm
  IMPORTING

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_mmm
 
 TYPE SY-MANDT ,
ld_mm
 
 TYPE CHAR2 .


ld_mm = 'Check type of data required'.
