ABAP code example for Function Module UPWB_SEND_REQUEST





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module UPWB_SEND_REQUEST 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_er_client    TYPE IF_HTTP_CLIENT
.




DATA(ld_i_client_type) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_i_uri) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_i_method) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_it_header) = 'Check type of data required'.

DATA(ld_it_fields) = 'Check type of data required'.
.

CALL FUNCTION 'UPWB_SEND_REQUEST'
* EXPORTING
*   i_client_type =              ld_i_client_type
*   i_uri =                      ld_i_uri
*   i_method =                   ld_i_method
*   it_header =                  ld_it_header

  IMPORTING

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_er_client  TYPE IF_HTTP_CLIENT ,
ld_i_client_type  TYPE C ,
ld_i_uri  TYPE STRING ,
ld_i_method  TYPE STRING ,
ld_it_header  TYPE TIHTTPNVP ,
ld_it_fields  TYPE TIHTTPNVP .




ld_i_client_type = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_uri = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_i_method = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_it_header = 'Check type of data required'.
ld_it_fields = 'Check type of data required'.
