Modification 1

New domains for mapping from ABAP to XML

The following new special domains have been introduced, which override the default mapping of elementary ABAP types to asXML.

• XSDUUID_BASE64 for 16-byte UUIDs in base64 format
  
  
• XSDCURRCODE for ISO currency keys
  
  
• XSDUNITCODE for ISO unit keys
  
  
  
  
  

Modification 2

New formats for the format specification in the option attribute of tt:value

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-type 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

New specification decimals for the option attribute of tt:value

The new specification decimals in the option attribute of the ST command tt:value influences the number of decimal places of numeric types.

Modification 4

New specification regime for the option attribute of tt:value

The new specification regime(num|char|bin) in the option attribute of the ST command tt:value can be used to force a numeric, character-like, or byte-like handling.

Modification 5

New specification noError for the option attribute of tt:value

The new specification noError in the option attribute of the ST command tt:value prevents exceptions in language, currCode, and unitCode formattings, which evaluate entries in database tables.
