AMDP - Methods

There are two types of AMDP methods, methods without a return code that define AMDP procedures and methods with a return code that define AMDP functions.

• AMDP procedure implementations

• AMDP function implementations

In AMDP classes, AMDP methods are flagged as followed:

• In AMDP procedure implementations and AMDP function implementations that do not implement any CDS table functions, flagging is not necessary in the declaration with METHODS or CLASS-METHODS. However, an optional addition AMDP OPTIONS can be used to declare attributes of the AMDP method.

• AMDP function implementations that must be able to implement CDS table functions, declared as static methods using CLASS-METHODS, and associated with their CDS table function using the addition FOR TABLE FUNCTION.

• When implemented, all AMDP methods must be flagged using the statement METHOD.

• AMDP procedure implementations with the addition BY DATABASE PROCEDURE

• AMDP function implementations with the addition BY DATABASE FUNCTION

The implementation of an AMDP method is saved to the ABAP database schema by the ABAP runtime environment. In an AMDP method, it is possible to access objects in the same database schema directly. The name of the current database schema must not be specified here. If the correct authorization is granted, it is possible to access objects in a different database schema by specifying its name.

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Note

Constructors cannot be implemented as AMDP methods.
