ABAP code example for Function Module OIU_HELP_VALUES_GROUP

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module OIU_HELP_VALUES_GROUP 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_fieldname) = some text here


DATA(ld_title_fieldname) = some text here

DATA(ld_program) = 'some text here'.

DATA(ld_dynnr) = 'some text here'.
 

SELECT single SETCLASS 
  FROM SETHEADER 
  INTO @DATA(ld_setclass).


DATA(ld_display_only) = 'some text here'.

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_fieldname
 
 TYPE DYNPREAD-FIELDNAME ,
ld_title_fieldname

 TYPE SY-DYNNR ,

 TYPE SETHEADER-SETCLASS ,

ld_fieldname = some text here

ld_title_fieldname = some text here
ld_program = 'some text here'.
ld_dynnr = 'some text here'.

SELECT single SETCLASS 
  FROM SETHEADER
