When taking notes in my texteditor, I was wondering, if the date format I use ist the correct on.

Funnily, the fastest way to find out was searching #XKCD for "date", the 2nd hit is what I was looking for:

https://xkcd.com/1179/

(I had rememberd reading it years ago, but wouldn't remember the content.)

So: Correct date format is :

YYYY-MM-DD

which is what I was (and will keep) using.

Also I got to read a littel bit about #ISO8601.

Nice read at #SAPCommunity, on how #CDS-Views is the new #ABAP-Objects, and why we (old ABAPers) shouldn't hesitat to longt to addapt it.

I agree.

After re-starting asking questions in #SAPCommunity yesterday, today I also started again answering them, e.g. here:

https://answers.sap.com/answers/12648144/view.html

-> Use #RemoteSyntaxCheck to identify what coding will no longer run on a target system, where SAP-DDIC has been removed

After not doing so at all for a long time, today I created a new question in #SAPCommunity:

https://answers.sap.com/questions/12642171/on-s4hana-1809-miro-dumps-assign-type-conflict-sap.html

(it’s about #MIRO Dumping in #S4HANA 1809 )

SAP-Components that (seem to) have been simplified (=> deleted) with #S4HANA 1809:

IS-M: SAP Media (confirmed via #SimplificationList)
IS-H: SAP Healthcare (haven’t seen a clue on this one)

2 more* data-elements affected:
BEZEI15
AENTIME

(*of course, there are many more, but those mentioned caused me some problems! ;-) )

Colleague just tells me he websearched for some error message (UKM_PI008) he got and found something in #SAPCommunity, where a answered a question in this regard.

While trying to call VKM2 on my S/4HANA 1809, I learned about the #SAP #S4HANA Blacklist Monitor / blacklisted artifacts :

(VKM4 still works ...)

Q. Which languages are installed in a #SAP-system ?
A: see transaction SMLT

Just realized:

I'm doing > 13 Years of #SAP stuff now, but today is the very first time, where I'm the first (non-basis) person to touch a freshly installed vanilla SAP System! (#S4HANA 1809).

I was (and still am somehow) active in #SapCommunity (fka #SCN fka #SDN) .

Today I started a #CoffeeCorner-discussion, about the things I toot into the #fediverse with #SapKnowHow.

Maybe you want to join in?

Did you know? When going from #SAP #S4HANA 1709 to 1809 you will lose some dictionary types, e.g.:

TAB_RANGE_C10
or
BAPIPARNR_TAB

...this could come as a surprise, if you build your z-Coding (#ABAP) using them.....

#SapKnowHow #Upgrade

I hand't used #FTP in years - today I did and it worked fine! :-)

#SFTP

Welcome @Hau

you are only the 3rd person know to me in the fediverse tooting about #ABAP (or having it the bio, in your case)

Looking foreward to interact!

#SAP

It's #Upgrade-Time again.

I have noticed that in SPDD the "adjust" option never makes any useful proposals in my cases -> it always proposes to revert to the original ("Proposal corresponds to current version").

My cases are most often that the enhancement-category was changed (from "not enhanceable") or a searchhelp was added....

Thought:
The #SAP Switch-Framework is nice and in some cases it can be really helpful to be able to create a (temporary) switch in SFW1, assigning a package to it, and thus having it switched off.
("let's pretend, the package causing problems (e.g. syntax errors) wouldn't be there!?").

But one hast to be really careful that there are no table-appends or tables in that package, as that would result in data loss, right?
(Haven't tried it out, the thought just occurred to me…)

#ABAP

And sometimes there's unexpected stuff like "PARDIST_SHD , DISTRIBUTION ERRORS" , where no one is really sure what's wrong now...
It was something CDS-Views that could apparently not be activated; but they were active already; we activated them again, tried one more time, and it worked!
