Tip-No.: 1896 ( INFO1896 )

Short text

R/2 language elements that do not work in R/3
Tip-No.: 1896

Symptom

A series of language elements known from R/2 status ABAP/4 are no
longer supported in ABAP/4 status R/3. This includes (among others)
the following language elements:

- batch input language elements DYNPROS, MOVE-DYNPRO, REFRESH DYNPRO
and TRANSFER-DYNPRO (replaced with new batch input concept);

- update language element PERFORM IN UPDATE TASK (replaced with new
update concept);

- segment language elements FILL, FOR ALL ... ENDFOR, READ SEGMENT
and SEGMENTS (no longer applicable, since there are only tables,
and no longer segments, in R/3);

- condition-dependent operations ADD-CONDITIONAL, ADD SELECTIVE,
and MOVE-CONDITIONAL (special applications that can easily be
programmed around);

- CURRENCY-CONVERSION (replaced with function modules);

- matchcode language elements DELETE MATCHCODE, INSERT MATCHCODE, and
UPDATE MATCHCODE (replaced with function modules);

- text processing language elements DELETE TEXT, INSERT TEXT,
MOVE-TEXT, READ TEXT, TEXTS und UPDATE TEXT (replaced with
function moduels);

- telecommunications language element TELEX,

- documentation language elements DELETE DOCUMENTATION, INSERT
DOCUMENTATION and READ DOCUMENTATION (replaced with function
modules).

In Release 1.0, these language elements are still contained in the
syntax, but have no effect on run time.

From Release 1.1A, all of these language elements except for the
matchcode language elements will be recognized by the syntax checker as
faulty.

Cause

Although we have tried hard to make R/3 ABAP as compatible with R/2
ABAP as possible, variances in a few places were unavoidable.

Solution

Instead of the language elements no longer supported, listed under
"Symptom", use alternatives.
