ABAP code example for Function Module STCT_CHECK_VARIANT_EXISTS





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module STCT_CHECK_VARIANT_EXISTS 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:
ld_variant_existent    TYPE FLAG
,
ld_variant_name    TYPE TCVIEW-TCVERSION
,
ld_is_default    TYPE FLAG
,
ld_is_system_variant    TYPE FLAG
.



 

SELECT single TCPROGRAM 
  FROM TCVIEW 
  INTO @DATA(ld_programname).

 

SELECT single TCCONTROL 
  FROM TCVIEW 
  INTO @DATA(ld_controlname).


DATA(ld_username) = 'some text here'.

CALL FUNCTION 'STCT_CHECK_VARIANT_EXISTS'
  EXPORTING
    programname =                ld_programname
    controlname =                ld_controlname

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_variant_existent  TYPE FLAG ,
ld_programname  TYPE TCVIEW-TCPROGRAM ,
ld_variant_name  TYPE TCVIEW-TCVERSION ,
ld_controlname  TYPE TCVIEW-TCCONTROL ,
ld_is_default  TYPE FLAG ,
ld_username  TYPE SY-UNAME ,
ld_is_system_variant  TYPE FLAG .





SELECT single TCPROGRAM 
  FROM TCVIEW 
  INTO ld_programname.


SELECT single TCCONTROL 
  FROM TCVIEW 
  INTO ld_controlname.

ld_username = 'some text here'.
