Declaration of Variables with BDEF Derived Types For modularization purposes, BDEF derived types can be used outside of the reserved handler methods by declaring variables, for example, in ABAP programs. The statements TYPES, DATA and CREATE DATA are supported. For example, an internal table can be declared with the type TYPE TABLE FOR : DATA itab TYPE TABLE FOR CREATE entity_name. entity_name must be the full name of the entity, not the alias defined in the BDEF since there is no clear reference to a specific BDEF outside of handler methods in behavior pools. The following type declarations are supported in the context of BDEF derived types:
TYPE TABLE FOR
TYPE STRUCTURE FOR
TYPE REQUEST FOR
TYPE RESPONSE FOR
Creation of Data Objects Data objects with BDEF derived types can be created dynamically. It can be done, most conveniently, using the method create_data of class CL_ABAP_BEHVDESCR: cl_abap_behvdescr=>create_data( ). The following parameters can be used for the method: ParameterDetails p_nameName of the entity p_rootName of the root p_opOperation, lbr for example, if_abap_behv=>op-m-create or the predefined constant (e. g. just 'C' for create). p_sub_nameAssociation or action name p_kind Type category p_structure'X' lbr For the creation of a row type (and not a table type) The data object creation is based on absolute types. These types can be constructed manually and instantiated using the following syntax. CREATE DATA dref TYPE (der_type). The variable der_type represents a string that follows a certain pattern that looks, for example, as follows. Note that the entries for the placeholders must be capitalized and that the string requires additional parts depending on the context, for example, when referring to associations or in case of actions. BDEF=bdef_name ENTITY=entity_name TYPE=operation The name of the behavior definition (bdef_name) comes in first position, followed by the entity name (entity_name; it cannot be the alias) and the specification for the type (operation). The following table provides an overview on strings that can be used for der_type in the respective contexts: ContextString for der_type Standard operations BDEF=bdef_name ENTITY=entity_name TYPE=CREATE lbr BDEF=bdef_name ENTITY=entity_name TYPE=UPDATE lbr BDEF=bdef_name ENTITY=entity_name TYPE=DELETE lbr lbr For create-by-association operations: BDEF=bdef_name ENTITY=entity_name ASSOC=assoc_name TYPE=CREATE Read operations For READ IMPORT: lbr BDEF=bdef_name ENTITY=entity_name TYPE=READ_I lbr For READ RESULT: lbr BDEF=bdef_name ENTITY=entity_name TYPE=READ_R lbr lbr For read-by-association operations: lbr IMPORT: lbr BDEF=bdef_name ENTITY=entity_name ASSOC=assoc_name TYPE=READ_I lbr RESULT: lbr BDEF=bdef_name ENTITY=entity_name ASSOC=assoc_name TYPE=READ_R lbr LINK: lbr BDEF=bdef_name ENTITY=entity_name ASSOC=assoc_name TYPE=LINK Responses TYPE TABLE FOR .../TYPE STRUCTURE FOR ...
