Other Changes in Release 4.6 C
1 Extension of the scan buffer 2 New functions for strings 3 Greater precision in BCD arithmetic 4 New relational expression IS SUPPLIED
ABAP_MODIFICATION_1 Extension of the Scan Buffer SAP has extended the scan bufferfrom 8 Kb to 28 Kb. Each ABAP statement can now contain a parameter list of this length. For example, a WHEREaddition can now contain 450 selection entries (instead of 100 as before), if variable names of 30 characters are used.
ABAP_MODIFICATION_2 New Functions for Strings The CHARLEN and NUMOFCHAR functions are now available for strings. CHARLEN returns the length of the first character in a string or a character-type field. In single-byte code pages, this is always one. In SAP-compatible multi-byte code pages, this can be either 1 or 2.
NUMOFCHAR returns the number of characters in a string or character-type field. In single-byte code pages, the behavior is the same as for the STRLEN statement. In multi-byte code pages, characters occupying more than one byte are considered to have a length of 1.
ABAP_MODIFICATION_3 Greater Precision inBCD Arithmetic BCD arithmetic for the data type P has been extended, so that interim results are now calculated using 127 digits (instead of 63 as before). This change affects internal representation only, since type P fields are still defined with a maximum of 16 bytes - that is, 31 digits.
ABAP_MODIFICATION_4 New relational expression IS SUPPLIED
The relational expression IS SUPPLIED indicates whether an actual parameter is specified for an optional formal parameter of a method or function module. The new expression replaces the expression IS REQUESTED , and renders it obsolete.
