This ABAP cheat sheet contains a selection of available ABAP classes, serving as a quick introduction, along with code snippets to explore the functionality in action.
💡 Note
- The cheat sheet is not a comprehensive overview, and the code snippets do not claim to be comprehensive as far as options, methods, or parameters are concerned. It is intended to give you a rough overview, for you to get an idea. It is an invitation to a more in-depth exploration.
- For more information and where available, refer to the class documentation (for example, choose F2 when the cursor is on the class name in ADT), the ABAP Keyword Documentation, and the SAP Help Portal documentation.
- In the cheat sheet, the focus is on a selected set of classes that are available in ABAP Cloud.
If available to you, you have accessed an SAP BTP ABAP Environment using the ABAP development tools for Eclipse (ADT). Access to SAP-provided repository objects is restricted to objects that have been released for ABAP for Cloud Development (released APIs). You can find the released repository objects in the Project Explorer view in ADT under Released Objects. The classes are located in the Source Code Library folder:
You can also programmatically get the released obects. You can use specific XCO classes or a CDS view, as shown in the example code snippet below.
SELECT ReleasedObjectType, ReleasedObjectName, ReleaseState

CL_DEMO_CLASSRUN |
As an alternative to using the IF_OO_ADT_CLASSRUN interface for displaying output in the console, you can also use the CL_DEMO_CLASSRUN class, which offers more methods.
For more information, refer to this blog.
The following example makes use of the CL_DEMO_CLASSRUN. A structure and an internal table are displayed in the console. A structure component is a reference variable, which is automatically dereferenced. Plus, the write_xml method is shown, which displays XML data.

CL_ABAP_DIFF |
Using the methods diff and diff_with_line_ref of the CL_ABAP_DIFF class, you can compare the content of two compatible index tables. The returning parameter is an internal table showing how the content of one internal table can be modified to match another one. diff_with_line_ref also returns a reference to the original table lines. Various importing parameters are available to adjust the comparison. Find more information in the class documentation and in the ABAP Keyword Documentation.
