ABAP code example for Function Module GET_DATE_FROM_CALID

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module GET_DATE_FROM_CALID 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_field_name  
 
 TYPE AM61K-FNAME
,
ld_new_date  
 
 TYPE SY-DATUM
.

 

SELECT single FABKL 
  FROM T001W 
  INTO @DATA(ld_calid).


DATA(ld_dynnr) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_repid) = 'some text here'.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_DATE_FROM_CALID'
  EXPORTING
    calid =                      ld_calid
    dynnr =                      ld_dynnr
    repid =                      ld_repid
  IMPORTING
    field_name =                 ld_field_name
    new_date =                   ld_new_date
    .  "  GET_DATE_FROM_CALID

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_field_name
 
 TYPE AM61K-FNAME ,
ld_calid
 
 TYPE T001W-FABKL ,
ld_new_date
 
 TYPE SY-DATUM ,
ld_dynnr
 
 TYPE SY-DYNNR ,
ld_repid
 
 TYPE SY-REPID .



SELECT single FABKL 
  FROM T001W 
  INTO ld_calid.

ld_dynnr = 'some text here'.
ld_repid = 'some text here'.
