Data Clusters in Release 7.40

1 Replacement of the system class
2 Exception handling


ABAP_MODIFICATION_1 Replacement of the System Class

The abstract system class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP for data clusters and its subclasses have been replaced by the new system class
CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_UTILITIES and its methods. The class
CL_ABAP_EXPIMP should no longer be used.


ABAP_MODIFICATION_2 Exception Handling

If an SQL error occurs in the statements EXPORT , IMPORT , or DELETE FROM for data clusters in database tables, the new exception class
CX_SY_EXPIMP_DB_SQL_ERROR can be used to handle the error.
If the string or internal table is empty in the statements IMPORT FROM DATA BUFFER or IMPORT FROM INTERNAL TABLE , the dedicated runtime errors IMPORT_FROM_DATA_BUFFER_EMPTY or
IMPORT_FROM_INTTABLE_EMPTY now occur.
