SAP C_ABAPD_2507 Exam Questions

The expression itab1 = corresponding #( itab2 ) is a constructor expression with the component operator CORRESPONDING that assigns the contents of the internal table itab2 to the internal table itab1. The following statements are true for using this expression:

B: itab1 and itab2 must have at least one field name in common. This is because the component operator CORRESPONDING assigns the identically named columns of itab2 to the identically named columns of itab1 by default, according to the rules of MOVE-CORRESPONDING for internal tables.If itab1 and itab2 do not have any field name in common, the expression will not assign any value to itab1 and it will remain initial or unchanged1

C: Fields with the same name and the same type will be copied from itab2 to itab1. This is because the component operator CORRESPONDING assigns the identically named columns of itab2 to the identically named columns of itab1 by default, according to the rules of MOVE-CORRESPONDING for internal tables.If the columns have the same name but different types, the assignment will try to perform a conversion between the types, which may result in a loss of precision, a truncation, or a runtime error, depending on the types involved1

The following statements are false for using this expression:

A: Fields with the same name but with different types may be copied from itab2 to itab1. This is not true, as explained in statement C.The assignment will try to perform a conversion between the types, which may result in a loss of precision, a truncation, or a runtime error, depending on the types involved1

D: itab1 and itab2 must have the same data type. This is not true, as the component operator CORRESPONDING can assign the contents of an internal table of one type to another internal table of a different type, as long as they have at least one field name in common. The target type of the expression is determined by the left-hand side of the assignment, which is itab1 in this case.The expression will create an internal table of the same type as itab1 and assign it to itab11

To redefine a component of a superclass in a subclass, you need to do the following12:

You add the clause REDEFINITION to the component declaration in the subclass. This indicates that the component is inherited from the superclass and needs to be reimplemented in the subclass. The redefinition must happen in the same visibility section as the component declaration in the superclass. For example, if the superclass has a public method m1, the subclass must also declare the redefined method m1 as public with the REDEFINITION clause.

You implement the redefined component in the subclass. This means that you provide the new logic or behavior for the component that is specific to the subclass. The redefined component in the subclass will override the original component in the superclass when the subclass object is used. For example, if the superclass has a method m1 that returns 'Hello', the subclass can redefine the method m1 to return 'Hi' instead.

You cannot do any of the following:

You implement the redefined component for a second time in the superclass. This is not possible, because the superclass already has an implementation for the component that is inherited by the subclass. The subclass is responsible for providing the new implementation for the redefined component, not the superclass.

You add the clause REDEFINITION to the component in the superclass. This is not necessary, because the superclass does not need to indicate that the component can be redefined by the subclass. The subclass is the one that needs to indicate that the component is redefined by adding the REDEFINITION clause to the component declaration in the subclass.

In class ZCL_CLASS_A, you use the statement DATA var TYPE *** to declare a data object named var with a data type specified by ***.The data type can be any of the following1:

A predefined ABAP type, such as i, f, c, string, xstring, and so on.

A data element from the ABAP Dictionary, such as matnr, carrid, bukrs, and so on.A data element defines the semantic and technical attributes of a data field, such as the domain, the length, the data type, the description, and the value range2.

A domain from the ABAP Dictionary, such as matnr_d, carrid_d, bukrs_d, and so on.A domain defines the technical attributes of a data field, such as the data type, the length, the output length, the number of decimal places, and the value range3.

A type defined globally in a class, an interface, or a type pool, such as zcl_class_b=>type_a, zif_interface_c=>type_b, ztype_pool_d=>type_c, and so on.A global type is a type that is defined in a global repository object and can be used in any program or class4.

A type defined locally in the current class, such as type_a, type_b, type_c, and so on.A local type is a type that is defined in the declaration part of a class and can only be used within the class5.

Therefore, the possible values for *** are B. the name of a data element from the ABAP Dictionary and D. the name of a domain from the ABAP Dictionary. The other options are not valid because:

A . The name of a type defined privately in class ZCL_CLASS_A is a local type and cannot be used with the DATA statement.A local type can only be used with the TYPES statement5.

C . The name of a type defined privately in another class is a private type and cannot be accessed from outside the class. A private type can only be used within the class that defines it.

The following are the explanations for each statement:

A: This statement is correct. go_subl = CAST #(go_super) will not work. This is because go_subl is a data object of type REF TO cl_subl, which is a reference to the subclass cl_subl. go_super is a data object of type REF TO cl_super, which is a reference to the superclass cl_super. The CAST operator is used to perform a downcast or an upcast of a reference variable to another reference variable of a compatible type. A downcast is a conversion from a more general type to a more specific type, while an upcast is a conversion from a more specific type to a more general type. In this case, the CAST operator is trying to perform a downcast from go_super to go_subl, but this is not possible, as go_super is not pointing to an instance of cl_subl, but to an instance of cl_super.Therefore, the CAST operator will raise an exception CX_SY_MOVE_CAST_ERROR at runtime12

B: This statement is incorrect. go_sub2 = CAST #(go_super) will work. go_subl = CAST #(go_super) will not work. This is because go_sub2 is a data object of type REF TO cl_sub2, which is a reference to the subclass cl_sub2. go_super is a data object of type REF TO cl_super, which is a reference to the superclass cl_super. The CAST operator is used to perform a downcast or an upcast of a reference variable to another reference variable of a compatible type. A downcast is a conversion from a more general type to a more specific type, while an upcast is a conversion from a more specific type to a more general type. In this case, the CAST operator is trying to perform a downcast from go_super to go_sub2, and this is possible, as go_super is pointing to an instance of cl_sub2, which is a subclass of cl_super. Therefore, the CAST operator will assign the reference of go_super to go_sub2 without raising an exception.However, the CAST operator will not work for go_subl, as explained in statement A12

C: This statement is incorrect. go_sub2 = CAST #(go_super) will work. go_sub2->sub2_meth1(...) will not work. This is because go_sub2 is a data object of type REF TO cl_sub2, which is a reference to the subclass cl_sub2. go_super is a data object of type REF TO cl_super, which is a reference to the superclass cl_super. The CAST operator is used to perform a downcast or an upcast of a reference variable to another reference variable of a compatible type. A downcast is a conversion from a more general type to a more specific type, while an upcast is a conversion from a more specific type to a more general type. In this case, the CAST operator is trying to perform a downcast from go_super to go_sub2, and this is possible, as go_super is pointing to an instance of cl_sub2, which is a subclass of cl_super. Therefore, the CAST operator will assign the reference of go_super to go_sub2 without raising an exception. However, the method call go_sub2->sub2_meth1(...) will not work, as sub2_meth1 is a subclass-specific method of cl_sub2, which is not inherited by cl_super.Therefore, the method call will raise an exception CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_METHOD at runtime123

D: This statement is correct. go_subl->subl_meth1(...) will work. This is because go_subl is a data object of type REF TO cl_subl, which is a reference to the subclass cl_subl. subl_meth1 is a subclass-specific method of cl_subl, which is not inherited by cl_super.Therefore, the method call go_subl->subl_meth1(...) will work, as go_subl is pointing to an instance of cl_subl, which has the method subl_meth1123

When processing a loop with the statement DO... ENDDO, the system variable that contains the implicit loop counter is sy-index. The loop counter is a numeric value that indicates how many times the loop has been executed. The loop counter is initialized to 1 before the first execution of the loop and is incremented by 1 after each execution. The loop counter can be used to control the number of loop iterations or to access the loop elements by index.The loop counter can also be accessed or modified within the loop body, but this is not recommended as it may cause unexpected results or errors1.

For example, the following code snippet uses the loop counter sy-index to display the numbers from 1 to 10:

DO 10 TIMES. WRITE: / sy-index. ENDDO.

The output of this code is:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
