ABAP code example for Function Module SDU_ENTITY_FETCH

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SDU_ENTITY_FETCH 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:

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_as4local
 
 TYPE DM02L-AS4LOCAL ,
it_entities
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DM02V ,
wa_entities
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_entities,
ld_dmoid
 
 TYPE DM40L-DMOID ,
ld_entity
 
 TYPE DM02L-ENTID ,
ld_langu
 
 TYPE DM02T-SPRACHE ,
ld_longtxt
 
 TYPE DM02T-LANGBEZ ,
ld_sel_mode
 
 TYPE STRING .



SELECT single AS4LOCAL 
  FROM DM02L 
  INTO ld_as4local.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab

SELECT single DMOID
