What does it do? Specifies the predefined AMDP macro $ABAP.type for an ABAP type. In an AMDP method implemented in SQLScript, the AMDP macro $ABAP.type can be used to access the ABAP type abap_type. For abap_type, all elementary non- generic types can be specified that would be possible after a TYPE addition in an ABAP implementation of the method. These are as follows:
The built-in ABAP types i, int8, decfloat16, decfloat34, f, string , xstring, d and t.
All elementary types, which are defined with TYPES, that are visible at this place. These can be types of the own class, a different class or an interface.
All elementary types defined in the ABAP Dictionary, such as data elements or elementary components of structured types. The ABAP runtime framework replaces this expression in accordance with the rules specified in the mapping tables in the corresponding HANA type. abap_type is not case-sensitive.
ABAP_EXAMPLES The following table shows how some built-in or user-defined ABAP types can be specified in macro $ABAP.type and implemented in HANA types.
