Knowledge of SAP ABAP Test 2015

1. ABAP has built-in types like C, I, N, STRING, or X. If you use these types for defining data objects, which of the following statements are correct?

Answers:

• If you want to define a two-byte integer data object, you use the follow-ing syntax: DATA xyz(2) TYPE i.

• If you create a data object without explicitly specifying its type, it will become type C with length 1.

• If you define a data object with type D, two or four digits will be re-served for the year, depending on the user's settings.

• A data object of type STRING has a fixed length that will automatically be set when the first value is assigned to this data object. This length cannot be adjusted thereafter.

2. During an upgrade project to SAP NetWeaver 7.0, you are asked for a strategy to convert the implemented classic BAdIs to the new BAdI type.

What do you recommend?

Answers:

• Perform the migration of customer BAdIs and BAdIs that are provided by SAP With the available migration tool.

• Use the procedure for semi-automatic migration because of existing differences between classic and new BAdIs.

• Perform a completely automated migration of all existing classic BAdIs with the available migration tool.

• An internal table can be linked to a database table so that the content of the internal table is updated automatically as soon as the content of the database table changes.

• A data base table XYZ can be used for the definition of an internal table like this: DATA itab TYPE TABLE OF xyz.

• A data base table in the Dictionary can be defined with reference to an internal table from an ABAP program.
