ABAP 7.4

 

ABAP 7.4 was a significant release for the ABAP language, introducing several modern syntax features and enhancements that aimed to simplify development and improve code readability. Some of the key features of ABAP 7.4 include:

New Expressions and Operators:

  • Inline Declarations: Declare variables directly within loops or other control structures using DATA(var_name).
  • Table Expressions: Access and manipulate internal tables using a more concise syntax (e.g., itab[ col1 = 'value1' ]).
  • Constructor Expressions: Create structures or internal tables directly (e.g., VALUE #( ... )).
  • Conditional Operators: Use shorter syntax for conditional assignments (e.g., x = COND #( WHEN a = 1 THEN 'One' ELSE 'Other' )).
  • String Templates: Embed variables directly into strings using { } (e.g., 'Hello {name}').
  • Functional Operators: FILTERREDUCE, and COND allow for more concise and expressive operations on internal tables.

Other Enhancements:

  • Open SQL Enhancements: Support for CASE expressions in SELECT, improved joins, and a shorter syntax for INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE.
  • Refactoring Support: Tools to help rename variables, extract methods, and perform other code transformations.

Benefits of Using ABAP 7.4:

  • Improved Readability: The new syntax makes code more concise and easier to understand.
  • Reduced Development Time: Fewer lines of code are needed to achieve the same functionality.
  • Increased Productivity: The enhancements make it easier to write complex logic in a clear and concise way.

Example (Inline Declaration and Table Expression):

ABAP

DATA(lt_flight_schedules) = VALUE zcl_flight_schedule_tab( 
( carrid = 'LH' connid = '0400' fldate = '20240704' )

( carrid = 'LH' connid = '0400' fldate = '20240705' )
( carrid = 'UA' connid = '0016' fldate = '20240704' )
).
DATA(lt_filtered_schedules) = FILTER #( lt_flight_schedules WHERE carrid = 'LH' ).

This example demonstrates how you can define an internal table directly (using the VALUE constructor expression) and filter its contents using a table expression.
