CDS Views - Using a built-in function as actual parameter

Hello guys,

I'm a little disappointed.

I try to call a CDS view with parameters from another CDS view.

As input parameter I need a timestamp.

Now I thought that you can simply use the built-in function tstmp_current_utctimestamp(),

but my 7.50 system complains about the syntax.

Do I miss something here?

Are cds built-in functions not meant to be used outside of {..} block?

kind regards

Alex

No.. but you can add the timestamp field in your first cds and pass it.. at least I think this should work 😉

Thanks Florian.

I have solved this by implementing my use case as table function with AMDP.
