Simplification is the Goal

7.40 ABAP extensions address programming in the small.
Not prescribing some new paradigm or design methodology.
But you will find them useful every 2nd line.
You can write ABAP code more similar to state-of-the-art languages.
Simplification is the overall goal. Features allow you to:
Avoid redundancies
Inline declarations
Type inference
Express pure value computations concisely w/o state manipulation

Constructor expressions
Table comprehensions
Leverage powerful operations on data collections

operator #( )
These new operators construct values of a specified type or inferred type (#), where operator is one
of { NEW, VALUE, } and the syntax inside( ) depends on operator.
NEW

VALUE creates values (esp. of structured types)
REF
creates data references

performs up or down casts of references

Table Comprehensions Building Tables Functionally
Table-driven:
VALUE tabletype( FOR line IN tab WHERE ( )

( line- line- )
)
For each selected line in the source table(s), construct a line in the result table.
Generalization of value constructor from static to dynamic number of lines
Condition-driven:
VALUE tabletype( FOR i = 1

WHILE i < n
FOR j = 10 THEN j - 1 UNTIL j = 0

Processing Table Lines in Groups Statement Variant
LOOP AT tab bind(x)
WHERE
GROUP BY groupkey(x)
bind(g).
LOOP AT GROUP g bind(m).
ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.
bind(x) is a binding (INTO / ASSIGNING) of a variable x for the

original lines in the table being grouped
bind(g) is a binding of a variable g for the group key values
groupkey(x)is either
an expression over x
or a tuple ( name1 = expr1 name2 = expr2 ) over x
The GROUP BY loop iterates through

the computed group key values in g, if bind(g) is given
representative group members in x, if bind(g) is missing
The LOOP AT GROUP iterates through all members of the current group g (in m).
