In CDS, user defined types can be referenced as a type in structured types. Can a user defined type be used in .hdbtabletype?
In hdbcds, this can be achieved as mentioned below. Help Docs
MyStruct is a table type which uses MyString80 and MyInteger as derived types.
namespace Pack1.Pack2;
context MyModel
{
type MyInteger : Integer;
type MyString80 : String(80);
table type MyStruct
{
aNumber : MyInteger;
someText : String(80);
otherText : MyString80;
};
};
But if you would like to use hdbtabletype to create the type, how can the same be achieved? I would like to continue using the derived type like following example rather than define the column type in every table type.
MyModel.hdbcds
namespace Pack1.Pack2;
context MyModel
{
type MyInteger : Integer;
type MyString80 : String(80);
};
MyStruct.hdbtabletype
TYPE "Pack1.Pack2::MyModel.MyStruct" AS TABLE ( "aNumber" "Pack1.Pack2::MyModel.MyInteger", "someText" "Pack1.Pack2::MyModel.MyString80", "otherText" "Pack1.Pack2::MyModel.MyString80" )
But this doesn't work.
Is this approach possible?
Thanks
