CDS view associations and parameters error

former_member606144 — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 06:26:34 GMT

Team,

I am trying to have association between multiple CDS views

Option 1 : If I don't add parameters --> It throws Parameters are needed error

Option 2 : If I add parameters --> It throws Syntax error/ Parameters can not be defined here.

Note : It works when I am using Inner Join instead of Association but then it throws Table length error < 4096

--------------------------

Following is the piece of code

Option 1 :

define view Z_ABC_GROUP1 with parameters

@Consumption.hidden: true

@Environment.systemField: #SYSTEM_DATE

P_KeyDate : syst_datum ,

@Consumption.hidden: true

@Environment.systemField: #SYSTEM_LANGUAGE

P_Language : syst_langu

as select from Z300001Z_PQR_FEATUREMARA_

(P_KeyDate : $parameters.P_KeyDate ,P_Language : $parameters.P_Language)

as PQR_FEATURE

association to Z300001Z_GHI_FILMMARA_ as _GHI_FILM

on _PQR_FEATURE.Material = _GHI_FILM.Material

// Error : Entity Z300001Z_GHI_FILMMARA_ requires parameter P_KeyDate cds-option1-error.jpg

Entity Z300001Z_GHI_FILMMARA_ requires parameter P_Language

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Option 2 :

define view Z_ABC_GROUP1 with parameters

@Consumption.hidden: true

@Environment.systemField: #SYSTEM_DATE

P_KeyDate : syst_datum ,

@Consumption.hidden: true

@Environment.systemField: #SYSTEM_LANGUAGE

P_Language : syst_langu

as select from Z300001Z_PQR_FEATUREMARA_

(P_KeyDate : $parameters.P_KeyDate ,P_Language : $parameters.P_Language) //Error : unexpected word (; the keyword on was expected cds-option2-error.jpg

as PQR_FEATURE

association to Z300001Z_GHI_FILMMARA_

as _GHI_FILM

on _PQR_FEATURE.Material = _GHI_FILM.Material

Hello Kunal,

To overcome a limitation with 4096 characters you can try to use CDS extension.

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewAppendName: 'ZS_MY_EXT1'
@EndUserText.label: 'View Extension'
extend view ZS_MY_CDS with ZS_MY_EXTENSION 
association[0..1] to ZS_CASE_PROD_VERS_V as pv on pv.guid = cmg.guid
{
pv.pvs    as my_fld_1, // CHAR 512
pv.pvts   as my_fld_2  // CHAR 1024
}

The rest I did not check. Just had a similar issue with 4096 limitation and found SAP Note: 2154870. Hope it helps.

BR, Dima
