BRFplus - Accessing structure data objects

[Former Member]

How can I access element data objects within structure data objects?

E.g. I have an expression of type formula and the context of the expression is a data object of type strucure.

How can I process elements of the structure within the formula expression - like ABS_VALUE( structure-element ).

(SAP NW 701, ABAP).

Hi Andreas,

in 701 this is not possible but only supported by expression types such as decision table directly.

In 702 there is full support of structure component access. And there is also support for deep types, loops, deep value changes etc.

For the time being you may need to create a formula function to access the structure element.

Or better participate the ramp-up and use BRFplus in NW 702.

BR,

Hi Carsten,

thank you for your fast reply.

Because I have problems creating webservices out of functions too (there are problems generating the function module),

is this functionality as well only fully supported in NW 702?

Andreas

There is no limitation here.

What SP are you on? Should be SP5 or higher.

In doubt you need to create a message for SAP to take a look.
