Data Clusters in Release 7.40, SP02


1. Replacement of the system class


2. Exception handling

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Modification 1

Replacement of the System Class

The abstract system class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP for data clusters and its subclasses have been replaced by the new system class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_UTILITIES and its methods. The class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP should no longer be used.

Modification 2

Exception Handling

  • If an SQL error occurs in the statements EXPORT, IMPORT, or DELETE FROM for data clusters in database tables, the new exception class CX_SY_EXPIMP_DB_SQL_ERROR can be used to handle the error.
  • If the string or internal table is empty in the statements IMPORT FROM DATA BUFFER or IMPORT FROM INTERNAL TABLE, the dedicated runtime errors IMPORT_FROM_DATA_BUFFER_EMPTY or IMPORT_FROM_INTTABLE_EMPTY now occur.
