What does it do? Chains an annotation with a subannotation subanno. The chaining is indicated by a period (.). The name of the subannotation can contain letters, numbers, and underscores only and must start with a letter. The same information can be specified after the name as specified after the main annotation:
A colon (:) followed by the following:
An annotation value value
Further subannotations subannos specified in curly brackets { ... }.
Elements of an annotation array arrelem in square brackets [ ... ]
A chaining with a further subannotation subAnno using a period ( .). Only those subannotations should be specified that are supported by the associated annotation definition.
Latest notes:
Alongside individual subannotations specified using structured annotation names. multiple subannotations can be specified using a comma-separated list and curly brackets.
A structured annotation name must be unique within the scope of the annotation. NON_V5_HINTS ABAP_HINT_END
ABAP_EXAMPLE_VX5 The following annotation definition is available. DDLA DEMOSUBANNOS The subannotations can then, for example, be specified as follows: @DemoSubAnnos.subAnno1: true @DemoSubAnnos.subAnno2.subAnno1: 1 @DemoSubAnnos.subAnno2.subAnno2.subAnno1: 1 @DemoSubAnnos.subAnno2.subAnno2.subAnno2: 2 This example has the same semantics as the example using comma-separated lists.
