Common Use Cases

Get Current Date/Time in UTC

"Using CL_ABAP_CONTEXT_INFO
DATA(sys_date) = cl_abap_context_info=>get_system_date( ).  "e.g. 20240101
DATA(sys_time) = cl_abap_context_info=>get_system_time( ).  "e.g. 152450

"Using XCO (various formats)
DATA(date_utc) = xco_cp=>sy->date( xco_cp_time=>time_zone->utc )->as( xco_cp_time=>format->abap )->value.
DATA(time_utc) = xco_cp=>sy->time( xco_cp_time=>time_zone->utc )->as( xco_cp_time=>format->iso_8601_extended )->value.
DATA(moment_utc) = xco_cp=>sy->moment( xco_cp_time=>time_zone->utc )->as( xco_cp_time=>format->iso_8601_extended )->value.

Send Email

TRY.
    DATA(mail) = cl_bcs_mail_message=>create_instance( ).
    mail->set_sender( '[e-mail]' ).
    mail->add_recipient( '[e-mail]' ).
    mail->set_subject( 'Subject' ).
    mail->set_main( cl_bcs_mail_textpart=>create_instance(
      iv_content      = '<h1>Hello</h1><p>Message body.</p>'
      iv_content_type = 'text/html' ) ).
    mail->send( IMPORTING et_status = DATA(status) ).
  CATCH cx_bcs_mail INTO DATA(error).
ENDTRY.

Generate UUID

"CL_SYSTEM_UUID
DATA(uuid_x16) = cl_system_uuid=>create_uuid_x16_static( ).
DATA(uuid_c36) = cl_system_uuid=>create_uuid_c36_static( ).

"XCO
DATA(uuid) = xco_cp=>uuid( )->value.
DATA(uuid_c36_xco) = xco_cp=>uuid( )->as( xco_cp_uuid=>format->c36 )->value.

JSON Processing

"ABAP -> JSON
DATA(json) = xco_cp_json=>data->from_abap( some_structure )->to_string( ).

"JSON -> ABAP
xco_cp_json=>data->from_string( json_string )->write_to( REF #( target_structure ) ).

"Using /UI2/CL_JSON
DATA(json2) = /ui2/cl_json=>serialize( data = some_data ).
/ui2/cl_json=>deserialize( EXPORTING json = json2 CHANGING data = target ).

HTTP Client Call

TRY.
    DATA(dest) = cl_http_destination_provider=>create_by_url( 'https://api.example.com' ).
    DATA(client) = cl_web_http_client_manager=>create_by_http_destination( dest ).
    DATA(request) = client->get_http_request( ).
    DATA(response) = client->execute( if_web_http_client=>get ).
    DATA(status) = response->get_status( ).
    DATA(body) = response->get_text( ).
  CATCH cx_web_http_client_error cx_http_dest_provider_error INTO DATA(error).
ENDTRY.

Get Current User

"Using CL_ABAP_CONTEXT_INFO
DATA(user_alias) = cl_abap_context_info=>get_user_alias( ).
DATA(user_name) = cl_abap_context_info=>get_user_formatted_name( ).

"Using XCO
DATA(user) = xco_cp=>sy->user( )->name.
