Find more information in the [Dynamic Programming](06_Dynamic_Programming.md) cheat sheet. - The class names are constructed dynamically. They all begin with `CL_ABAP_RANDOM_`. - An object is created dynamically based on the constructed class name. - This object is assigned the result of a dynamic method call. The error handling is included as the `min` and `max` parameters are not available for all methods. - The `get_next` method returns an appropriately typed data object, e.g. in case of `CL_ABAP_RANDOM_DECFLOAT34`, a data object of type `decfloat34` is returned. As a generic returning parameter is not possible, the example uses a data object of type `string`. So, the value returned is converted to type `string`. Note that are special conversion rules (e.g. the minus character for negative values are added at the end by default). - The resulting string values are added to an internal table for display purposes. - The example also includes static method calls. ```abap CLASS zcl_some_class DEFINITION PUBLIC FINAL CREATE PUBLIC .

CL_ABAP_PARALLEL |
For performing the parallel processing for instances of ABAP Objects. For more information, refer to the class documentation.
The following example class demonstrates parallel processing using the `CL_ABAP_PARALLEL` class. 🟢 Click to expand for more information and example codeNotes on the example: - As a prerequisite, ensure you have a class implementing the `IF_ABAP_PARALLEL` interface. In this self-contained example, the executable class itself implements it. - Before running the class with F9 in ADT, set a breakpoint for the `ASSERT` statement in the implementation of the `if_oo_adt_classrun~main` method. - The example visualizes parallel processing by adding timestamps to an internal table. When program execution stops, you can check the table contents. - First, instances of the example class are created for the parallel processing of instances. - Next, an instance of the `CL_ABAP_PARALLEL` class is created. The example omits optional parameters; refer to the class documentation for details. - Parallel processing begins with the `run_inst` method, adding the instances to the input parameter. - A table of result information for tasks is returned and stored in a data object. - After starting the parallel processing, the `if_abap_parallel~do` method is called for each instance. This method includes a `DO` loop that populates the `info` table with timestamps. - The example includes a `WAIT` statement to pause program execution to ensure that all the parallel processing runs have completed. - The result information table is then looped over, and details are accessed by casting to the respective class (in this case, the example class). - The `info` table is sorted by timestamps. In the debugger, you can explore the functionality of the parallel processing in the following ways: - The `instance` component may show a random instance, like `inst3`, processed first. - Due to many loop passes, other instances might start in parallel before the current instance finishes. The `instance` component might show, for example, that `inst3` was processed first while `inst1` began. Some `time_stamp` values may even show identical values.```abap CLASS zcl_some_class DEFINITION PUBLIC FINAL CREATE PUBLIC . PUBLIC SECTION. INTERFACES if_oo_adt_classrun.

XCO_CP_XLSX |
The XCO library offers classes such as `XCO_CP_XLSX` and methods for reading and writing XLSX content. You can find more information [here](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/xlsx). The following example demonstrates a selection of methods and includes the following steps:
- Importing existing XLSX content into your SAP BTP ABAP Environment system (not related to the XCO library; just to have content to work with in the self-contained example below)
- This is a simplified, nonsemantic, and explorative RAP example (not delving into RAP as such; just using various ABAP repository objects related to RAP) solely for importing XLSX content to work with in the example.
- ⚠️ Note the repository's readme file for disclaimer and the [documentation](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/xlsx-read-access) for security considerations when importing and processing external content.
- The import is done using an automatically created SAP Fiori Elements app preview, which provides a simple UI for uploading local XLSX content.
- The repository objects are automatically created in ADT when walking through a wizard. Refer to the prerequisite steps for details.
- Reading XLSX content into an internal table using XCO
- Writing XLSX content using XCO based on internal table content
- A demo class explores a selection of XCO classes and methods. You can find the code in the expandable section.
- Exporting the adapted XLSX content (not related to the XCO library; just to visualize newly created XLSX content using XCO)
Expand the following collapsible section for example code.
🟢 Click to expand for example code**Prerequisite Steps for the XLSX Content Import into the SAP BTP ABAP Environment** The XLSX XCO module works with XLSX content in the form of an xstring. The following example assumes that you have XLSX content available as xstring. To try out the example, you can proceed as follows: - In your ABAP Cloud project in ADT, create a database table in the desired target package. This example uses the name `ztdemo_abap_xlsx`. - Give it a description, such as *Demo table*, and assign it to a transport. - Set up the example database table as follows: ```abap @EndUserText.label : 'Demo table' @AbapCatalog.enhancement.category : #NOT_EXTENSIBLE @AbapCatalog.tableCategory : #TRANSPARENT @AbapCatalog.deliveryClass : #A @AbapCatalog.dataMaintenance : #RESTRICTED define table ztdemo_abap_xlsx { key client : abap.clnt not null; key id : sysuuid_x16 not null; file_content : abap.rawstring(0); file_name : abap.char(128); file_mimetype : abap.char(128); @AbapCatalog.anonymizedWhenDelivered : true local_created_by : abp_creation_user; local_created_at : abp_creation_tstmpl; @AbapCatalog.anonymizedWhenDelivered : true local_last_changed_by : abp_locinst_lastchange_user; local_last_changed_at : abp_locinst_lastchange_tstmpl; last_changed_at : abp_lastchange_tstmpl; } ``` - Activate the database table. - In the *Project Explorer* view on the left, locate your created database table and right-click on it. Choose *Generate ABAP Repository Objects...* from the top section of the context menu. - This opens the *Generate ABAP Repository Objects* dialog box. - Select *OData UI Service*. Find information on the right about the RAP-specific repository objects to be created. These objects include CDS entities, BDEFs, ABPs, service definition and binding, among others. - Choose *Next*. - Select the package and choose *Next*. - The next screen in the dialog box lets you specify additional details for RAP repository objects, such as alias names. However, you can also leave it as is and choose *Next*. - The following screen displays a list of artifacts set to be created. Choose *Next*. - Then, select the transport request and choose *Finish*. - The creation of the repository objects may take some time. Once completed, the service binding will appear. Keep it open, but refrain from making any adjustments at this point. - Proceed to access the generated CDS entity. Note that two CDS entities are created. Access the one **without** the *with projection on* specification (the example entity name is `ZR_TDEMO_ABAP_XLSX`). The specification appears as follows. ```abap ... define root view entity ZR_TDEMO_ABAP_XLSX as select from ZTDEMO_ABAP_XLSX ... ``` - Adapt the CDS entity as follows. It is essential that the `@Semantics` annotations are specified and the provided names match. ```abap @AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #NOT_REQUIRED @Metadata.allowExtensions: true @EndUserText.label: 'Demo CDS Entity' define root view entity ZR_TDEMO_ABAP_XLSX as select from ztdemo_abap_xlsx { key id as Id, @Semantics.largeObject: { mimeType: 'FileMimetype', fileName: 'FileName', contentDispositionPreference: #ATTACHMENT } file_content as FileContent, file_name as FileName, @Semantics.mimeType: true file_mimetype as FileMimetype, @Semantics.user.createdBy: true @UI.hidden local_created_by as LocalCreatedBy, @Semantics.systemDateTime.createdAt: true @UI.hidden local_created_at as LocalCreatedAt, @Semantics.user.localInstanceLastChangedBy: true @UI.hidden local_last_changed_by as LocalLastChangedBy, @Semantics.systemDateTime.localInstanceLastChangedAt: true @UI.hidden local_last_changed_at as LocalLastChangedAt, @Semantics.systemDateTime.lastChangedAt: true @UI.hidden last_changed_at as LastChangedAt } ``` - Activate the CDS entity. - Return to the service binding located in your package under *Business Services -> Service Bindings* (e.g. `ZUI_TDEMO_ABAP_XLSX_O4`). - Choose the *Publish* button for the *Local Service Endpoint*. The publishing may take some time. - After publishing, locate the *Service Version Details* section on the right. Under *Entity Set and Association*, right-click the newly created entity set and select *Open Fiori Elements App Preview*. - This action opens the SAP Fiori Elements app in a new browser window. - Within the app, choose the *Create* button. - You should see a *Browse* button in the *FileContent* field. - Choose this button and select a local XLSX file. Note: You can use the example XLSX content provided below. Only with this content does the example class work properly. For your own explorations, adapt the class code accordingly. - After uploading the file, choose *Create* at the bottom to save the entry. - Refer to the comments in the example class below. You can either exit the app now, leaving one entry in the database with the XLSX content, or use the UUID value of the created entry in the `WHERE` clause of the `SELECT` statement at the beginning of the `main` method implementation below. > **💡 Note** > - If there are issues with the UI (e.g. you cannot upload), try out UI V2. > - Create a new service definition, e.g. right-click the *Service Definition* folder and choose *New Service Definition*. > - Provide a name (e.g. `ZUI_TDEMO_ABAP_XLSX_O2`) and description. Choose *Next*. > - The code should look as follows: > ```abap > @EndUserText.label: 'Service Definition' > define service ZUI_TDEMO_ABAP_XLSX_O2 > provider contracts odata_v2_ui { > expose ZC_TDEMO_ABAP_XLSX; > } > ``` > - Activate it and create a new service binding, e.g. by right-clicking the service definition and choosing *New Service Binding*. > - Create the binding (e.g. with the same name as the service definition `ZUI_TDEMO_ABAP_XLSX_O2`), and select *OData V2 - UI* as *Binding Type*. > - Activate and publish the local service endpoint. > - Access the preview app as described above. > **📝 Example XLSX content** >- Copy and paste the following data into your demo XLSX file. The example only uses simple character-like values. Note the information in the documentation about value transformation when processing the XLSX content. >- Your XLSX creation program may have a feature, such as *text to column*, that can help you divide the text into separate columns. In this case, the first four columns are filled. >- The delimiter is a comma, indicating that there are four columns to be filled with the demo data. >- Name the first worksheet (where you insert the demo data) `Sheet1`. > ``` >AA,American Airlines,USD,http://www.aa.com >AC,Air Canada,CAD,http://www.aircanada.ca >AF,Air France,EUR,http://www.airfrance.fr >BA,British Airways,GBP,http://www.british-airways.com >CO,Continental Airlines,USD,http://www.continental.com >DL,Delta Airlines,USD,http://www.delta-air.com >LH,Lufthansa,EUR,http://www.lufthansa.com >JL,Japan Airlines,JPY,http://www.jal.co.jp >NW,Northwest Airlines,USD,http://www.nwa.com >QF,Qantas Airways,AUD,http://www.qantas.com.au >SA,South African Air.,ZAR,http://www.saa.co.za >SQ,Singapore Airlines,SGD,http://www.singaporeair.com >SR,Swiss,CHF,http://www.swiss.com >UA,United Airlines,USD,http://www.ual.com >``` **Exploring the XCO XLSX Module** Assuming you have the XLSX content created and uploaded above on your system, you can explore the following example using the XCO classes/methods. Set up a demo class called `zcl_some_class` and use the code provided below. After activating it, choose *F9* in ADT to run the class. The example is designed to show output in the console. > **💡 Note** > - Refer to the comments in the code for information. > - If you have used different names than those in this example, make sure to replace those names in the code. > - If your artifacts have a different setup, names, or XLSX content, the example class will not function properly.

DATA(api_state) = cl_abap_api_state=>create_instance( api_key = VALUE #( object_type = 'CLAS' object_name = 'ZCL_DEMO_TEST' ) ). api_state->release( use_in_cloud_development = abap_true use_in_key_user_apps = abap_false request = 'SOME_TR_REQ' ). DATA(rel_info) = api_state->get_release_info( ). DATA(is_released) = api_state->is_released( use_in_cloud_development = abap_true use_in_key_user_apps = abap_false ). IF is_released = abap_true. api_state->delete_release_state( request = 'SOME_TR_REQ' ). rel_info = api_state->get_release_info( ). is_released = api_state->is_released( use_in_cloud_development = abap_true use_in_key_user_apps = abap_false ). ENDIF. CATCH cx_abap_api_state INTO DATA(error). DATA(error_text) = error->get_text( ). ENDTRY. ``` |
