ABAP code example for Function Module G_SPLIT_LINE





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module G_SPLIT_LINE 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_split_not_successful  TYPE STRING ,
it_export_lines  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING,"TABLES PARAM
wa_export_lines  LIKE LINE OF it_export_lines .

DATA(ld_input_line) = 'some text here'.
DATA(ld_condense_short_lines) = 'some text here'.

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_export_lines to it_export_lines. . CALL FUNCTION 'G_SPLIT_LINE' EXPORTING input_line = ld_input_line * condense_short_lines = ld_condense_short_lines IMPORTING split_not_successful = ld_split_not_successful TABLES export_lines = it_export_lines . " G_SPLIT_LINE
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_split_not_successful  TYPE STRING ,
ld_input_line  TYPE STRING ,
it_export_lines  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING ,
wa_export_lines  LIKE LINE OF it_export_lines,
ld_condense_short_lines  TYPE STRING .

ld_input_line = 'some text here'.

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_export_lines to it_export_lines.
ld_condense_short_lines = 'some text here'.
