The video is a tutorial on ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP) in SAP. Here’s a summary of the key points:
- AMDP Scalar and Tabular Functions: The video explains the differences between AMDP scalar and tabular functions. Scalar functions return a single value, while tabular functions return a table of values. The presenter explains that scalar functions can be called in ABAP like regular methods and can be used as functional methods.
- Creating an AMDP Method: The presenter demonstrates how to create an AMDP method that handles select options. He explains that the method needs to take an internal table as an input parameter, which contains the select options. The method then uses the COMBINE_SELTAB method to convert the select options into a string, and uses this string in a SELECT statement to retrieve data from the database.
- Calling AMDP Functions: The presenter shows how to call AMDP functions from a program. He explains that AMDP functions can be called in a SELECT statement in SQLScript. He also shows how to handle errors by using a TRY…CATCH block and how to view the error message.
- Demonstration: The presenter demonstrates how to use AMDP functions to retrieve data from a database. He shows how to pass parameters to the functions, how to use the functions in a SELECT statement, and how to display the retrieved data.
- Important Points: The presenter discusses some important points about using AMDP functions. He explains that AMDP functions can be used to create database procedures and that they can be used in other AMDP procedures or functions. He also emphasizes that AMDP functions are read-only and that they need to be called in a SELECT statement in SQLScript.
