A DATS field is stored as YYYYMMDD.

Option A: substring( flight_date, 5, 2 ) → Extracts characters 5–6 → correct month.

Option B: right( left( flight_date, 6 ), 2 ) → Takes first 6 chars YYYYMM, then last 2 → correct month.

Option C: Wrong, extracts last 2 chars of MMDD, results in day not month.

Option D: Wrong, starts at 4 → gives YM instead of MM.

In RAP/ABAP Cloud, authorization objects define authorizations for roles and are invoked from CDS (read) and behavior (modify). This ties app operations to authorization objects and roles administered in IAM.

RAP services are exposed for Fiori apps via service bindings; the resulting Fiori app uses the service and its enforcement (which includes the authorization objects configured for roles). Putting it together for S/4HANA Cloud IAM: Apps carry/trigger checks based on authorization objects; Business Catalogs collect apps; Business Roles collect catalogs; Business Users are assigned roles. This aligns with the ABAP Cloud guidance that authorizations are grouped into roles and checked against authorization objects during access.

ABAP Cloud rules are enforced by:

ABAP Compiler → performs syntax checks against ABAP Cloud rules.

ABAP Runtime Checks → ensure runtime compliance with rules (e.g., avoiding calls to unreleased APIs).

Release contracts and platform reuse services are enablers but do not enforce rules automatically.

In the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP), validations are used to ensure that business rules and constraints are fulfilled, including the uniqueness of semantic keys.

A semantic key represents a natural identifier (e.g., employee number, product ID) and not a technical surrogate key. Validations can be:

Field-level validations – used to validate input for single fields.

Entity-level validations – used to validate logical conditions like uniqueness of a key combination.

The uniqueness check is typically enforced using a custom validation implementation in the behavior pool.

Action (Option A) is used for operations triggered by the user or system but not for enforcing uniqueness.

Determination (Option C) is used for automatically computing or adjusting field values, not for enforcing uniqueness.

The FIND function in ABAP searches for a substring (sub) inside a string (val) and returns the offset (position) if found, or 0 if not found.

Let’s evaluate Option A:

find( val = 'FIND Found found' sub = 'F' occ = -2 CASE = abap_true )

occ = -2: Searches for the second-last occurrence.

CASE = abap_true: Enforces case-sensitive search.

The string contains:

'FIND' → matches 'F' (1st occurrence)

'Found' → matches 'F' (2nd occurrence)

'found' → does not match because of lowercase 'f' and case-sensitive flag.

So, valid case-sensitive matches for 'F' are:

1st: 'FIND'

2nd: 'Found'

Thus, the second-last occurrence is 'FIND'.

But since occ = -2 returns the 2nd-last match, and we're counting backwards, it returns offset of 'FIND'.

Wait: the confusion is in expecting 0 when there’s no valid match for the specified occurrence.

But actually:

Option A does return 0 because occ = -2 expects at least 2 valid case-sensitive matches, and:

'Found' contains 'F' → match

'FIND' contains 'F' → match

So there are two matches.

BUT, occ = -2 is a reverse index.

First-last: 'Found'

Second-last: 'FIND'

It should return match offset for 'FIND' = 1 (NOT 0)

So, correction: A does NOT return 0.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

The correct way to change the contents of a row in an internal table is by using the MODIFY statement.

MODIFY allows updating the existing entry in an internal table based on its key or position.

If the row exists, the statement replaces the data; if not, it inserts a new row depending on the internal table type and whether a key is specified.

INSERT adds new rows but does not modify.

APPEND adds entries at the end, and UPDATE is for database tables, not internal tables.

This behavior is consistent with the ABAP programming model used in both classical and RAP-based developments when manipulating internal collections or buffering data in memory during behavior pool execution.

A → Recommended to define attributes for message placeholders.

C → Inheriting from cx_static_check enforces compile-time checks to ensure exceptions are handled.

E → Implementing if_t100_message allows integration with message classes.

B → Misleading, design-time warning is about handling, not raising.

D → Not a recommended practice in ABAP Cloud (system classes are not extendable).

class_teardown( )

ABAP Unit Test framework defines a fixed sequence for test fixture methods to ensure reliable test execution and cleanup:

class_setup( ):Called once before any tests in the test class are run. Used to prepare global test data or setup that applies to all tests.

setup( ):Called before each individual test method to prepare local test data or preconditions.

teardown( ):Called after each individual test method to clean up what was done in setup( ).

class_teardown( ):Called once after all tests have been executed to clean up class-level resources.

This sequence supports isolation and repeatability of test executions, ensuring that one test's result does not influence another’s.

Extensions in SAP S/4HANA Cloud must follow the ABAP Cloud Extensibility Model.

Use released APIs (D) → Only released and whitelisted APIs are permitted.

Use predefined extension points (B) → Extensions can only be made where SAP has defined extension includes or APIs.

Build at UX layer (A) and Use CI/CD pipelines (C) are good practices but not mandatory extension rules.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation from Exact Extract:

In RAP, validations, determinations, and actions are implemented inside the local handler class (lhc_...) of the behavior pool.

Global classes are not used directly for RAP BO logic, only for reusable utilities.

Functions or subroutines are not cloud-compliant for RAP implementation.

Thus, validation code always resides in the local handler class inside the RAP behavior pool.
