System Classes in ABAP Release 7.58

1. System Classes for Numbers

2. New Class CL_ABAP_DIFF

3. New Methods in CL_ABAP_TSTMP

4. New Method in CL_ABAP_BEHV_AUX

Modification 1  

System Classes for Numbers

Two new system classes for numeric calculations are available:

• CL_ABAP_BIGINT contains methods for calculations with any size of integer in ABAP.
• CL_ABAP_RATIONAL contains methods for calculating with rational numbers without any precision loss.

Modification 2  

New Class CL_ABAP_DIFF

The new class CL_ABAP_DIFF compares the content of internal tables and returns information about any differences found.

Modification 3  

New Methods in CL_ABAP_TSTMP

The new methods MOVE_TRUNC, MOVE_TO_SHORT_TRUNC, ADD_TO_SHORT_TRUNC and SUBTRACTSECS_TO_SHORT_TRUNC of system class CL_ABAP_TSTMP round the fractional seconds of long time stamps down while the existing methods MOVE, MOVE_TO_SHORT, ADD_TO_SHORT and SUBTRACTSECS_TO_SHORT round commercially. Since the latter might be unexpected, the new methods can be used now in order to preserve the integer part of a long time stamp.

Modification 4  

New Method in CL_ABAP_BEHV_AUX

Using the new method GET_CURRENT_PHASE, you get information about the current RAP transactional phase.
