TYPES - CLIENT SPECIFIED

Short Reference

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Syntax


TYPES dtype TYPE cds_entity CLIENT SPECIFIED clnt.

Effect

The statement TYPES uses the addition CLIENT SPECIFIED to define a structured type constructed from all components of a CDS entity cds_entity and that also has an initial component clnt with the type of a client column.

cds_entity expects the name of a CDS entity of a CDS view as defined after the CDS DDL statement DEFINE VIEW. Any name for the client column that complies with the naming conventions can be specified for clnt.


Notes

  • A structure of a type defined using this statements can be used as a work area of a SELECT statement for CDS entities of CDS views in which automatic client handling is switched off using CLIENT SPECIFIED.
  • The name specified for clnt has absolutely no dependency on the actual name of a client column in a data source of a CDS view.
