ABAP code example for Function Module RH_PM_CONVERT_DATE

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module RH_PM_CONVERT_DATE 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_factor
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_begda
 
 TYPE P1000-BEGDA ,
ld_endda
 
 TYPE P1000-ENDDA ,
ld_period
 
 TYPE T7PMI-FREQUENCY ,
ld_mod_months
 
 TYPE P1000-HISTO .



ld_begda = 20210129

ld_endda = 20210129

SELECT single FREQUENCY 
  FROM T7PMI 
  INTO ld_period.
