ABAP code example for Function Module PFO_WRITE_CONTEXT

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module PFO_WRITE_CONTEXT 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_cs_balmsg) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_is_structure) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_is_objectdata) = 'Check type of data required'.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'PFO_WRITE_CONTEXT'
  EXPORTING
    is_structure =               ld_is_structure
    is_objectdata =              ld_is_objectdata

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_cs_balmsg
 
 TYPE BAL_S_MSG ,
ld_is_structure
 
 TYPE ANY ,
ld_is_objectdata
 
 TYPE PFO_S_OBJECT .


ld_cs_balmsg = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_is_structure = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_is_objectdata = 'Check type of data required'.
