ABAP code example for Function Module SECURITY_READ





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module SECURITY_READ 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).

ld_e_security  TYPE SECURITY_COMPLEX .

DATA(ld_i_security_number) = 'Check type of data required'. . CALL FUNCTION 'SECURITY_READ' EXPORTING i_security_number = ld_i_security_number IMPORTING e_security = ld_e_security EXCEPTIONS SECURITY_NOT_EXISTS = 1 . " SECURITY_READ

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_e_security  TYPE SECURITY_COMPLEX ,
ld_i_security_number  TYPE WP_RANL .

ld_i_security_number = 'Check type of data required'.
