ABAP Dictionary Type to EDM.Type Mapping
A table showing howthe metadata base class /IWBEP/CL_MGW_ABS_MODEL maps ABAP Dictionary types in case of structure binding to the EDM.Types
The following table shows how the metadata base class /IWBEP/CL_MGW_ABS_MODEL maps ABAP Dictionary types in case of structure binding to the EDM.Types.
For the coding see /IWBEP/CL_MGW_MED_EDM_UTIL->GET_EDM_TYPE_FROM_DDIC_TYPE.

ABAP Type Kind |
Description |
Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Edm.Binary |
Contains binary data. |
TYPEKIND_HEX |
Internal type X |
|
|
Edm.Binary |
Contains binary data. |
TYPEKIND_XSTRING |
Internal type Y(byte string) |
|
|
Edm.Boolean |
Contains the value true or false. |
TYPEKIND_CHAR |
Internal type C |
If the number of characters is 1 and the name contains the substring BOOL |
|
Edm.Byte |
Contains an unsigned 8-bit integer value. |
TYPEKIND_INT1 |
Internal type b (1 byte integer) |
|
|
Edm.DateTime |
Represents a date and time. |
TYPEKIND_DATE |
Internal type D |
|
|
Edm.DateTime |
Represents a date and time. |
TYPEKIND_PACKED |
P(8) if domain is TZNTSTMPS, P(11) if domain is TZNTSTMPL. |
Edm.DateTime is set automatically if ABAP Dictionary domain is TZNTSTMPS or TZNTSTMPL |
|
Edm.DateTimeOffset |
Contains a date and time as an offset in minutes from GMT. |
TYPEKIND_PACKED |
Internal type P(8) or P(11) like for Edm.DateTime |
Edm type of the property must be set explicitly in the metadata provider class. |
|
Edm.Decimal |
Contains a numeric value with fixed precision and scale. |
TYPEKIND_PACKED |
Internal type P |
If the packed contains decimals |
|
Edm.Decimal |
Contains a numeric value with fixed precision and scale. |

|
|
Edm.Double |
Contains a floating point number with 15 digit precision. |
TYPEKIND_FLOAT |
