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_i_msgid
 
 TYPE BALMI-MSGID ,
it_t_messages
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BALMI ,
wa_t_messages
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_t_messages,
ld_i_msgno
 
 TYPE BALMI-MSGNO ,
ld_i_altext
 
 TYPE BALMI-ALTEXT ,
ld_i_probclass
 
 TYPE BALMI-PROBCLASS .



ld_i_msgid = some text here 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_t_messages to it_t_messages.

ld_i_msgno = Check type of data required

ld_i_altext = some text here

ld_i_probclass = some text here
