Conditions for the Strict Mode

The strict mode of the syntax check in Release 7.52 applies to all ABAP SQL statements that use one of the following attributes introduced in Release 7.52:

• Use of ONE TO MANY in LEFT OUTER JOIN

• Use of the type conversion functions BINTOHEX and HEXTOBIN

• Use of the addition FOR ALL ENTRIES of statement SELECT together with columns of the types STRING and RAWSTRING and also LCHR and LRAW in the SELECT list in a strict mode.

• Internal table as the data source data_source of a query

• The following occurs in path expressions:

• Associations are used whose target data sources are CDS table functions.

• Parameters are passed.

• The cardinality or the kind of the join expression are specified as attributes.

• Filter conditions are specified.

• CDS access control is switched off by the addition WITH PRIVILEGED ACCESS.

Rules for the Strict Mode

The strict mode in Release 7.52 covers all rules of the strict mode in Release 7.51, plus the following rules:

• A path expression as a data source of a FROM clause must have an alternative table name defined with AS.

• The addition CLIENT SPECIFIED cannot be specified for a data source specified using a path expression.

• When the addition USING CLIENT is used in a query that accesses a CDS entity, this access is known statically, and CDS access control applies, a syntax error occurs.
