Number Ranges in SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment

[kai_hbner]

Hi,

what is the currrent status regarding definition / usage of number ranges?

News from 04.02.2019:

ABAP - Number RangesNew programming interfaces have been released to create, read, update, and delete number range objects and intervals. These new interfaces are:

• CL_NUMBER_RANGE_INTERVALS
• CL_NUMBER_RANGE_OBJECTS
• CL_NUMBER_RANGE_RUNTIME

News from 06.05.2019:

ABAP - API Classes for Number RangesThe following API classes for number ranges are deprecated:

• CL_NUMBER_RANGE_INTERVALS
• CL_NUMBER_RANGE_OBJECTS
• CL_NUMBER_RANGE_RUNTIME

We recommend using the new classes, that provide improved error handling with client-based exceptions:

• CL_NUMBERRANGE_INTERVALS
• CL_NUMBERRANGE_OBJECTS
• CL_NUMBERRANGE_RUNTIME

Regardless of the very short lifecycle..., the new recommended classes seems not to be available in CP ABAP. Is there any release date?

The release information ("News from 06.05.2019") is related to the release 1905.

According to https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#CAC, upgrade to 1905 is planned for the upcoming weekend 11./12. May. You can use the new API immediately after the upgrade.

Release information is published on the release-to-customer (RTC) date, which is relevant for newly created systems. Upgrade of existing systems is typically few days later.

Sorry for any inconveniences.
