The correct expression to change a given string value ‘mr joe doe’ into ‘JOE’ in an ABAP SQL field list is C. SELECT FROM TABLE dbtabl FIELDS Of1, substring(upper(‘mr joe doe’), 4, 3) AS f2_sub_up, f3,… This expression uses the following SQL functions for strings12:

upper: This function converts all lowercase characters in a string to uppercase. For example, upper(‘mr joe doe’) returns ‘MR JOE DOE’.

substring: This function returns a substring of a given string starting from a specified position and with a specified length. For example, substring(‘MR JOE DOE’, 4, 3) returns ‘JOE’.

AS: This keyword assigns an alias or a temporary name to a field or an expression in the field list. For example, AS f2_sub_up assigns the name f2_sub_up to the expression substring(upper(‘mr joe doe’), 4, 3).

You cannot do any of the following:

A. SELECT FROM TABLE dbtabl FIELDS Of1, upper(left( ‘mr joe doe’, 6)) AS f2_up_left, f3,…: This expression uses the wrong SQL function for strings to get the desired result. The left function returns the leftmost characters of a string with a specified length, ignoring the trailing blanks. For example, left( ‘mr joe doe’, 6) returns ‘mr joe’. Applying the upper function to this result returns ‘MR JOE’, which is not the same as ‘JOE’.

B. SELECT FROM TABLE dbtabl FIELDS Of1, left(lower(substring( ‘mr joe doe’, 4, 3)), 3) AS f2_left_lo_sub, f3,…: This expression uses unnecessary and incorrect SQL functions for strings to get the desired result. The lower function converts all uppercase characters in a string to lowercase. For example, lower(substring( ‘mr joe doe’, 4, 3)) returns ‘joe’. Applying the left function to this result with the same length returns ‘joe’ again, which is not the same as ‘JOE’.

D. SELECT FROM TABLE dbtabl FIELDS Of1, substring(lower(upper( ‘mr joe doe’ ) ), 4, 3) AS f2_sub_lo_up, f3,…: This expression uses unnecessary and incorrect SQL functions for strings to get the desired result. The lower function converts all uppercase characters in a string to lowercase, and the upper function converts all lowercase characters in a string to uppercase. Applying both functions to the same string cancels out the effect of each other and returns the original string. For example, lower(upper( ‘mr joe doe’ ) ) returns ‘mr joe doe’. Applying the substring function to this result returns ‘joe’, which is not the same as ‘JOE’.

A CDS view is a data definition that defines a data structure and a data selection from one or more data sources. A CDS view consists of several parts, but two of them are:

Extension: An extension is an optional clause that allows a CDS view to extend another CDS view by adding new elements, annotations, or associations. The extension clause has the syntax EXTEND VIEW view_name WITH view_name. The first view_name is the name of the CDS view that is being extended, and the second view_name is the name of the CDS view that is doing the extension1.

Field list: A field list is a mandatory clause that specifies the elements of the CDS view. The field list has the syntax SELECT FROM data_source { element_list }. The data_source is the name of the data source that the CDS view selects data from, and the element_list is a comma-separated list of elements that the CDS view exposes. The elements can be fields of the data source, expressions, associations, or annotations2.

The following example shows a CDS view that extends another CDS view and defines a field list:

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: ‘ZCDS_EXT’ define view Z_CDS_Extension extend view Z_CDS_Base with Z_CDS_Extension as select from ztable { // field list key ztable.id as ID, ztable.name as Name, ztable.age as Age, // extension @Semantics.currencyCode: true ztable.currency as Currency }

The other options are not parts of a CDS view, but rather related concepts:

Partitioning attributes: Partitioning attributes are attributes that are used to partition a table into smaller subsets of data. Partitioning attributes are defined in the ABAP Dictionary for transparent tables and can improve the performance and scalability of data access. Partitioning attributes are not part of the CDS view definition, but rather the underlying table definition3.

Semantic table attributes: Semantic table attributes are attributes that provide additional information about the meaning and usage of a table. Semantic table attributes are defined in the ABAP Dictionary for transparent tables and can be used to enhance the data modeling and consumption of the table. Semantic table attributes are not part of the CDS view definition, but rather the underlying table definition4.
