ABAP_MODIFICATION_NN Conversion Functions

The new type conversion functions BINTOHEX and HEXTOBIN make it possible to convert byte strings to character strings (and the other way round) in SQL expressions, which is not possible with a CAST expression.

ABAP_MODIFICATION_NN FOR ALL ENTRIES and Strings in the SELECT List

In the previous strict modes of the syntax check, the addition FOR ALL ENTRIES of statement SELECT could not be specified together with columns of the types STRING and RAWSTRING or LCHR and LRAW in the SELECT list. This restriction has been removed and now the syntax check simply issues a warning.

ABAP_MODIFICATION_NN Strict Mode in the Syntax Check

If one the new features listed above is used in an AB-SQL statement, the syntax check is performed in a ABAP_STRICT_768 strict mode / , which handles the statement more strictly than the regular syntax check.
