Data Cluster in Release 6.40


1. New system class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_CONV


2. Conversion additions in IMPORT


3. Stricter structure check in IMPORT

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Modification 1

New system class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_CONV

The methods of class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_CONV convert the release-dependent internal formats of data clusters.


Note

  • This change was also retransported to Release 6.20.

Modification 2

Conversion additions in IMPORT

The conversion additions ACCEPTING PADDING, ACCEPTING TRUNCATION and IGNORING STRUCTURE BOUNDARIES are now also possible in IMPORT FROM SHARED BUFFER.

Modification 3

Stricter structure check in IMPORT

The rule that structures and substructures (in the ACCEPTING PADDING addition) in a target structure in the IMPORT statement can have more components than the source structure, can lead to problems during reference to the structures defined in the ABAP Dictionary, if the structure is indicated there as extensible. As of Release 6.40, this situation can therefore cause a warning from the enhanced program check.
