The following new formats can be specified in parentheses after format in the option attribute of the ST command tt:value:

hex for a hexadecimal display of byte-like values
uri and uri_full for masking special characters in URIs
uri1 and uri2 for displaying literal values in URIs for OData.
currCode, unitCode for converting SAP-specific currency and unit keys in ISO units.
currency=CURRCODE, unit=UNITCODE for formatting numbers according to a currency or unit key
alpha for handling leading zeros in strings

Other enhancements:

dateTimeLocal, dateTimeOffset, and ticksOffset can now be used on the time stamp types TIMESTAMP and TIMESTAMPL.
guid can now also be used on the type c of length 22 for 16-byte UUIDs in base64 format.

Modification 3

decimals New for the Attributeoption of tt:value

decimals can now be specified in the attribute option of the ST command tt:value, where it defines the number of decimal places of numeric types.

Modification 4

regime New for the Attributeoption of tt:value

regime(num|char|bin) can now be specified in the attribute option of the ST command tt:value, where it can be used to force numeric, character-like, or byte-like handling.

Modification 5
