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_sponsored_program
 
 TYPE GM_SPONSORED_PROG ,
ld_activity
 
 TYPE ACTIV_AUTH ,
ld_no_extra_checkings
 
 TYPE XFELD .


ld_sponsored_program = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_activity = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_no_extra_checkings = 'Check type of data required'.
