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_document
 
 TYPE IF_IXML_DOCUMENT ,
ld_data_as_dom
 
 TYPE IF_IXML_ELEMENT ,
ld_name
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_type_handle
 
 TYPE SY-TABIX ,
ld_dataobject
 
 TYPE STRING ,
ld_control
 
 TYPE DCXMLSERCL .


ld_document = '123 '.
ld_name = '123 '.
ld_type_handle = '123 '.
ld_dataobject = 'some text here'.
ld_control = '123 '.
