Hello Everyone👋! 𝗔𝗕𝗔𝗣 𝗦𝗤𝗟: 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 If you've worked with RAP, you might be familiar with the %𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 component group. This structure contains all key and data fields as components, represented as flags. It is used to determine which fields are provided to Create/Update during CREATE or UPDATE operations using EML. A similar concept exists in ABAP SQL with 𝗦𝗤𝗟 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀. These indicators are useful for partially updating a database table by setting specific fields. Here's a small example. in an internal table, you can mark the column PRICE in the indicator structure to specify that only this column should be updated. If you don’t use the INDICATORS addition of the UPDATE statement, all other non-key columns of the database table would be initialized since their values are initial in the internal table. For more details, refer to the blog link added in the comments section. If you are already started to use this, share your thoughts here. #abap #abaponhana #sql #sap #s4hana #abapsql #rap
