Code Completion/Pattern
Eclipse fully supports Code completion as well as provides ready to use Patterns as per Definition of ABAP artifacts.
CDS Session Variables
« Previous Index Next » As of ABAP 7.51, CDS framework provides some runtime system variables which can be readily used to make CDS more optimal and feature-rich. These session variables sometimes also discard the need of parameterization of CDS view. $session.client is runtime SAP client which is equivalent to sy-mandt $session.system_date is current system … Continue reading CDS Session Variables

CDS View on View
« Previous Index Next » CDS View on View is a concept where a CDS selects from other CDS. It may be a good Idea to create an Exposed association and then create another view(View on View) to select specifically the required fields. This is a good programming practice and enhances clarity with CDS programming! … Continue reading CDS View on View
Extended CDS View
« Previous Index Next » How Extended CDS view Works? Extended CDS view works very similarly to Extension of Transparent Table. The CDS is extended in Eclipse IDE by writing some code. It's very simple to understand the basics of CDS extension. So, Let's extend a CDS: Goto Eclipse > Right Click on Project > … Continue reading Extended CDS View
CDS with Optional Parameters
« Previous Index Next » In the previous Tutorial, we saw how a CDS view can be made input enabled. This opens a new set of Code Push Down possibilities in AS ABAP. SAP provides a limited way(till release 7.51) for CDS view to accept optional parameters. Optional parameters here mean that parameters are optional … Continue reading CDS with Optional Parameters
CDS View with Parameters
« Previous Index Next » CDS views now come with the request Parameterization where scalar parameters can be passed to a CDS view. CDS with Parameter is very similar to normal CDS with the addition of keyword WITH PARAMETERS followed by the parameter name and its type. Till ABAP version 7.51, structured or tabular parameters are … Continue reading CDS View with Parameters
CDS View with Association and Path Expressions
« Previous Index Next » Let's make ourselves familiar with some important keywords before we jump in to understand Association with examples: Association Association is different than join in that sense that association defines how two entities are connected to each other. It is sometimes understood as “Conceptual Thinking” also because its nature of linking … Continue reading CDS View with Association and Path Expressions
