ABAP code example for Function Module VARI_USER_VARS_COPY

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

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_user_from
 
 TYPE TVARUVN-BNAME ,
it_paramids
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF PARIDRANGE ,
wa_paramids
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_paramids,
ld_user_to
 
 TYPE TVARUVN-BNAME ,
ld_change_existing_values
 
 TYPE STRING .



SELECT single BNAME 
  FROM TVARUVN 
  INTO ld_user_from.
 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_paramids to it_paramids.

SELECT single BNAME 
  FROM TVARUVN 
  INTO ld_user_to.

ld_change_existing_values = 'some text here'.
