Basic form
INCLUDE prog.
Effect
Includes the program prog in the main program for syntax check and generation purposes. Include programs are used to divide very large programs into smaller more manageable units. They also allow you to create common program components.
Example
INCLUDE LSPRITOP.
The whole of an INCLUDE statement must appear on one line where it is the only statement allowed. The include program must consist of complete statements (and comments). You can use the service report RSINCL00 to generate reference lists for include programs.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE
Basic form
INCLUDE STRUCTURE rec.
Effect
When you define a structure rec (with DATA or TYPES ), this statement copies the components of the structured data type subRec to the structure rec . Since you can define nested data structures (i.e. structures with sub-structures) starting from Release 3.0, you should use INCLUDE STRUCTURE only if you want to introduce types in a program first and nested structures in a later step.
A data definition DATA: BEGIN OF rec.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE subRec.
DATA: END OF rec.
is equivalent to
DATA rec LIKE subRec.
You are recommended to use the second formulation. Even if the structure rec to be defined contains additional components, instead of
DATA: BEGIN OF rec,
...
INCLUDE STRUCTURE subRec.
DATA: ...
END OF rec.
you should use
DATA: BEGIN OF rec,
...
rec LIKE subRec,
...
END OF rec.
so that subRec can be referenced as a sub-structure of rec .
Although " INCLUDE STRUCTURE subRec. " breaks up the substructure subRec into its components, the alignment of subRec is retained. This means that padding fields may be inserted before the first and/or before the last component of subRec in rec .
INCLUDE TYPE
Basic form
INCLUDE TYPE subRec.
Effect
When you define a structure rec (with DATA or TYPES ), this statement copies the components of the structured data type subRec to the structure rec .
Since you can define nested data structures (i.e. structures with sub-structures) starting from Release 3.0, you should use INCLUDE TYPE only if you want to introduce types in a program first and nested structures in a later step.(78.8).
