ABAP_DDIC - Built-In Dictionary Types This example demonstrates valid literal values for all built-in dictionary types.
ABAP_SOURCE_CODE DEMO CL_DEMO_DDIC_TYPES
ABAP_DESCRIPTION The first part of the example uses the ABAP SQL statement INSERT to insert a value into each column of a row of the DDIC database table DEMO_DDIC_TYPES. The values are ABAP literals used in a host expression. It should be noted that the literals are assigned to the components of a temporary ABAP structure that is constructed with the VALUE operator. These components have the ABAP type that is mapped to the DDIC type of the respective database column. If the type of a literal does not match the this ABAP type, its value is converted according to the rules. When the temporary structure is inserted in the database table via the database interface, another conversion might take place from the ABAP types to the database specific types, if necessary. The second part of the example uses the ABAP SQL statement UPDATE to set the values of the columns of a row that was inserted with empty columns. In the UPDATE statement, the values for most of the data types can be passed as typed literals that are not possible in general ABAP. In the case of typed literals, no ABAP-specific type conversion takes place and the validity of the values is guaranteed by the syntax check.
