ABAP code example for Function Module MATERIAL_UNIT_FIND

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module MATERIAL_UNIT_FIND 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_kzexi
 
 TYPE SY-MARKY ,
ld_kzall
 
 TYPE SY-MARKY ,
it_rmmme_itab
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF RMMME ,
wa_rmmme_itab
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_rmmme_itab,
ld_matnr
 
 TYPE MARA-MATNR ,
ld_meinh
 
 TYPE MARA-MEINS ,
ld_meins
 
 TYPE MARA-MEINS .


ld_kzall = 'some text here'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_rmmme_itab to it_rmmme_itab.

SELECT single MATNR 
  FROM MARA 
  INTO ld_matnr.


SELECT single MEINS 
  FROM MARA 
  INTO ld_meinh.


SELECT single MEINS 
  FROM MARA 
  INTO ld_meins.
