ABAP HANA 751 : Inline Field-symbol Declaration
SAP ABAP 7.51 Inline Declaration make it possible to define Internal Table, Work area and Variable on the fly from within the query. There is no need to write a separate line for Internal Table, Work area, and Variable declaration. This construct effectively helps to reduce lines of code and saves costly effort.
Declaring Variables, work areas and internal table inline in SQL statements are emerging as a good programming practice. This also gives flexibility that if in future programmer plans to select one/more field(s) in the query, in that case, there is no need to adjust internal table’s/work area’s type. This saves effort during maintenance also.
Sample Source Code: Variant 1 – Internal tables
Output: Variant 1
Sample Source Code: Variant – Work area and Variable
