Modern ABAP: ABAP Objects, CDS, and AMDP

This course will introduce you to object-oriented programming for ABAP. You’ll understand the importance of ABAP Objects, tour the Eclipse development environment, and get to know key language elements. The instructor will teach you to create classes, abstract classes, interfaces, and more.

Topics

• Development environments
• Classes
• Interfaces
• Abstract classes
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism
• Superclasses
• Design best practices

Core data services (CDS) is the backbone of modern SAP programming. In this course, the instructor will teach you about the importance of CDS views and how to access and create them. You’ll work with joins, associations, system variables, and parameters. The instructor will show you how to use built-in methods for efficient data querying, how to extend CDS views, and how to create custom CDS entities.

Topics

• Eclipse environment

• Accessing CDS views

• Joins

• Associations

• Variables

• Functions and methods

• View extensions

• Authorization checks

• CDS entities

Program database procedures directly in the ABAP environment! First, learn the basics of SQLScript so that you can create ABAP-managed database procedures (AMDPs). Then see how to write AMDP methods and call methods from ABAP code, CDS views, and other AMDP methods. The instructor will demonstrate the many features of AMDPs: parameters, variables, internal tables, flow control, cross-joins, dynamic SQL, fuzzy search, and much more!

Topics

• SQLScript
• Development environment
• Accessing AMDPs
• Concatenate strings
• Parameters
• Variables
• Internal tables
• Flow control
• Data/time functions
• Data manipulation
