Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Syntax

... [entity.]field|[alias.]field ...

Effect

Field of a data source entity of the current CDS view. FIELD expects the actual name of the element. Any alternative element names defined using AS cannot be used, with the exception of the ON condition of a CDS association.

If the field name field is not unique, the data source must be prefixed with a name entity separated by a period (.) or an alias name alias defined using AS. A name can be prefixed if the field name is unique, but this is not mandatory.
