SAP C_ABAPD_2309 Dumps

The correct expression to change a given string value ‘mr joe doe’ into ‘JOE’ in an ABAP SQL field list is C. SELECT FROM TABLE dbtabl FIELDS Of1, substring(upper(‘mr joe doe’), 4, 3) AS f2_sub_up, f3,… This expression uses the following SQL functions for strings12:

• upper: This function converts all lowercase characters in a string to uppercase. For example, upper(‘mr joe doe’) returns ‘MR JOE DOE’.
• substring: This function returns a substring of a given string starting from a specified position and with a specified length. For example, substring(‘MR JOE DOE’, 4, 3) returns ‘JOE’.
• AS: This keyword assigns an alias or a temporary name to a field or an expression in the field list. For example, AS f2_sub_up assigns the name f2_sub_up to the expression substring(upper(‘mr joe doe’), 4, 3).

You cannot do any of the following:

• A. SELECT FROM TABLE dbtabl FIELDS Of1, upper(left( ‘mr joe doe’, 6)) AS f2_up_left, f3,…: This expression uses the wrong SQL function for strings to get the desired result. The left function returns the leftmost characters of a string with a specified length, ignoring the trailing blanks. For example, left( ‘mr joe doe’, 6) returns ‘mr joe’. Applying the upper function to this result returns ‘MR JOE’, which is not the same as ‘JOE’.
• B. SELECT FROM TABLE dbtabl FIELDS Of1, left(lower(substring( ‘mr joe doe’, 4, 3)), 3) AS f2_left_lo_sub, f3,…: This expression uses unnecessary and incorrect SQL functions for strings to get the desired result. The lower function converts all uppercase characters in a string to lowercase. For example, lower(substring( ‘mr joe doe’, 4, 3)) returns ‘joe’. Applying the left function to this result with the same length returns ‘joe’ again, which is not the same as ‘JOE’.
• D. SELECT FROM TABLE dbtabl FIELDS Of1, substring(lower(upper( ‘mr joe doe’ ) ), 4, 3) AS f2_sub_lo_up, f3,…: This expression uses unnecessary and incorrect SQL functions for strings to get the desired result. The lower function converts all uppercase characters in a string to lowercase, and the upper function converts all lowercase characters in a string to uppercase. Applying both functions to the same string cancels out the effect of each other and returns the original string. For example, lower(upper( ‘mr joe doe’ ) ) returns ‘mr joe doe’. Applying the substring function to this result returns ‘joe’, which is not the same as ‘JOE’.

Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining and consuming semantically rich data models in SAP HANA. CDS supports various features that enhance the capabilities of SQL and enable developers to create data models that are optimized for performance, readability, and extensibility12. Some of the features of CDS are:

• Associations: Associations are a way of defining relationships between CDS entities, such as tables or views. Associations enable navigation and path expressions in CDS queries, which allow accessing data from related entities without explicit joins. Associations also support cardinality, referential constraints, and cascading options34.
• Annotations: Annotations are a way of adding metadata to CDS entities or their elements, such as fields or parameters. Annotations provide additional information or instructions for the CDS compiler, the database, or the consumers of the CDS views. Annotations can be used for various purposes, such as defining access control, UI rendering, OData exposure, or search capabilities5 .
• Structured Query Language (SQL): SQL is the standard language for querying and manipulating data in relational databases. CDS is based on SQL and extends it with additional features and syntax. CDS supports SQL features such as joins, aggregations, filters, expressions, functions, and subqueries. CDS also supports SQL Script, which is a scripting language for stored procedures and functions in SAP HANA .

You cannot do any of the following:

• Inheritance: Inheritance is not a feature of CDS. Inheritance is a concept in object-oriented programming that allows a class to inherit the properties and methods of another class. CDS does not support object-oriented programming or classes.
• Delegation: Delegation is not a feature of CDS. Delegation is a concept in object-oriented programming that allows an object to delegate some of its responsibilities to another object. CDS does not support object-oriented programming or objects.

Incomplete ABAP types are types that do not specify all the attributes of a data type, such as the length, the number of decimal places, or the value range. Incomplete types can only be used for the typing of field symbols and formal parameters, not for the definition of data objects or constants. Incomplete types can be either predefined or user-defined1.

The following are incomplete ABAP types:

• C. C is a type for character strings with a generic length. The length of the character string has to be specified when a data object or a constant is defined with this type. For example, DATA text TYPE c LENGTH 10 defines a data object named text with a type c and a length of 10 characters2.
• D. P is a type for packed numbers with a generic length and a generic number of decimal places. The length and the number of decimal places of the packed number have to be specified when a data object or a constant is defined with this type. For example, DATA amount TYPE p LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2 defines a data object named amount with a type p, a length of 8 bytes, and 2 decimal places3.

The following are not incomplete ABAP types, because they specify all the attributes of a data type:

• A. String is a type for variable-length character strings. The length of the character string is determined at runtime and can vary from 0 to 2,147,483,647 characters. The length does not have to be specified when a data object or a constant is defined with this type. For example, DATA text TYPE string defines a data object named text with a type string and a variable length4.
• B. T is a type for time values in the format HHMMSS. The length of the time value is fixed at 6 characters and does not have to be specified when a data object or a constant is defined with this type. For example, DATA time TYPE t defines a data object named time with a type t and a length of 6 characters.
