ABAP code example for Function Module VARIANT_ITEM_READ_ALL

The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module VARIANT_ITEM_READ_ALL 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_e_attyp
 
 TYPE MARA-ATTYP ,
ld_date
 
 TYPE SY-DATUM ,
it_variant_list
 
 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF MARA ,
wa_variant_list
 
 LIKE LINE OF it_variant_list,
ld_inactive_items
 
 TYPE WTDY-TYP01 ,
ld_item
 
 TYPE MARA-MATNR ,
ld_type_f
 
 TYPE WTDY-TYP01 .


ld_date = '20210129'. 

"populate fields of struture and append to itab
append wa_variant_list to it_variant_list.

ld_inactive_items = some text here

SELECT single MATNR 
  FROM MARA 
  INTO ld_item.


ld_type_f = some text here
