DEFINE - ... End-Of-Definition

Macros allow programmers to reuse blocks of code by defining them with a name and syntax. A macro must be defined before it is used in a program using the DEFINE and END-OF-DEFINITION keywords. Macros can accept up to nine placeholders for parameters that are passed when the macro is called.

If we want to reuse the same set of statements more than once in a program, we can include them in a macro.

We can only use a macro within the program in which it is defined. Macro definition should occur before the macro is used in the program. We can use the following syntax to define a macro.
DEFINE <macro name>. ... END-OF-DEFINITION.

Demo program using Macro.


*Macro definition DEFINE print. write:/ 'Hello Macro'. END-OF-DEFINITION. WRITE:/ 'Before Using Macro'. print.

Output

We can pass up to 9 placeholders to Macros.


*Macro definition DEFINE print. write:/ 'Hello', &1, &2. END-OF-DEFINITION. WRITE:/ 'Before Using Macro'. print 'ABAP' 'Macros'.

Output
