Functionality

The function of this class returns extraordinary values (such as minimum or maximum value) of predefined types.

Predefined types are fixed length types, such as ABAP type I or ABAP type F, but also types with variable length, such as ABAP type C or STRING.

The function will not work with user-defined types if they cannot be represented by predefined types.

Therefore the function will, for example, work with the following type:

  TYPES my_type(16) type p decimals 14.

It will not, however, work with the following example of a user-defined type:

TYPES: BEGIN OF my_type,
             a type d,
             b type t,
         END OF my_type.

List of all supported types:

C : Characters ( variable length )
D : Date ( 8 characters )
DECFLOAT34: Decimal floating point number ( 34 significant places )
DECFLOAT16: Decimal floating point number ( 16 significant places )
F : Binary floating point number ( 8 Byte )
I : Integer ( 4 Byte )
INT2 : Integer ( 2 Byte )
INT1 : Integer ( 1 Byte )
N : Numerical characters ( variable length )
P : Packed numbers ( variable length )
STRING : Strings ( variable length )
T : Time ( 6 characters )
X : Hexadecimal value ( variable length )
XSTRING : Hexadecimal strings ( variable length )

If the input variable is type DF34_DEC or DF16_DEC, the maximum value in the database is smaller thanthe maximum value in the ABAP runtime. The method GET_MAX_VALUE only returns the maximum value in theABAP runtime. To get the maximum value from the database, call the method GET_MAX_DB_VALUE of the classCL_ABAP_MATH. The class CL_ABAP_MATH provides a method GET_DB_LENGTH_DECS that returns the length defined in DDIC and number of decimal places defined in DDIC.
