The standard program MP000140 uses this function module as follows :
.......
.......
data: begin of old_it1 occurs 0.
include structure p0001.
data: end of old_it1.
case psyst-ioper.
when delete.
pred_endda = p0001-begda - 1.
call function 'HR_INITIALIZE_BUFFER'
exporting
tclas = 'A'
pernr = p0001-pernr.
*
call function 'HR_READ_INFOTYPE'
exporting
pernr = p0001-pernr
infty = '0001'
begda = pred_endda
endda = pred_endda
tables
infty_tab = old_it1
exceptions
infty_not_found = 1
others = 2.
*
if sy-subrc <> 0.
clear postab.
refresh postab.
else.

if lines_count > 0. "gleich 1
read table old_it1 index 1.
