Description

The following SQLScript procedure is implemented in the AMDP method GET_CARRIERS of the AMDP class CL_DEMO_AMDP_CHANGING:

METHOD get_carriers BY DATABASE PROCEDURE FOR HDB
                       LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT
                    USING scarr.
  carriers  = select s.*
                   from scarr as s
                   inner join :carriers as c
                     on s.mandt  = c.mandt and
                        s.carrid = c.carrid;
ENDMETHOD.

The tabular CHANGING parameter carriers can be used in this way in the procedure in reading positions and writing positions. Internally, the database procedure uses an identically named output parameter to which the initial value of the CHANGING parameter is assigned (using the invisible IN parameter carrriers__in__) when the procedure is first executed (see SQL Script for the SAP HANA Database).

A further method, CALL_GET_CARRIERS, demonstrates how the SQL Script procedure implemented in GET_CARRIERS is called from a different SQL Script procedure.

METHOD call_get_carriers BY DATABASE PROCEDURE FOR HDB
                            LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT
                         USING cl_demo_amdp_changing=>get_carriers.
  call "CL_DEMO_AMDP_CHANGING=>GET_CARRIERS"(
    CARRIERS__IN__  => :CARRIERS,
    CARRIERS        => :CARRIERS );
ENDMETHOD.

In this case, the implicit IN parameter carrriers__in__ must be filled explicit with the modified actual parameter.

Note

This is a syntax example. The same function can be provided with the same efficiency in ABAP SQL. AMDP is not needed in simple cases like this.
