Inline Declaration – while assigning the value to a variable
Now the compiler understands the context and define the variable by just using DATA syntax. For example:
Data: lv_ebeln type ebeln.
....
....
Data(lv_ebeln2) = lv_ebeln.
As you can see from the debugger, the new variable is same that of lv_ebeln which is of type ebeln.
Some more interesting usage.
DATA(lv_lines) = LINES( lt_matdoc ).
DATA(lv_String) = 'Hello World'.
However you cannot use the inline declaration while assigning values from a function module. Try this
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
input = ls_matdoc-matnr
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = Data(lv_material)
It will give a syntax error.
