This WD4A development will demonstrate the consumption of CDS views using SALV and Fiori.

Some WD4A coding is required but all business logic should reside in CDS view definition itself.

Create CDS view from ADT using folder Core Data Services, right-click to create New -> DDL Source

Second, from main WD4A component, add component usage SALV_WD_TABLE


Third, from COMPONENTCONTROLLER, create context with dictionary usage ZCDS_BKPF_VIEW


Fourth, from view, create ViewContainer UI Element

Next, from window, embed View into Window


Finally from view method WDDOINIT add CDS view data selection and bind to SALV table object
