@mattharding A lot of interesting topics!
I want to watch them all, even the ones in German but... Ich spreche kein Deutsch.

@mattharding Are you using one finger per screen you want to go back to?

@KatanSAPDevelop I've used ChatGPT to build my regex patterns lately.
Even if AI takes over the world one day, it will have been sooo worth it!

HANA-based source code searching can't always be turned on so I often use program RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to search for strings in #ABAP code. This new checkbox in S/4HANA 2023 is a small but much appreciated enhancement.

@wridgeu Version 2 (using sorted table and FILTER) and Version 3 (if you prefer more of the older syntax but want to avoid using an exception for controlling program flow)

[Glen Simpson @glensimpson]

@wridgeu Or this?
And it could be even more succinct (using FILTER operator instead of the nested FOR ) if IT_RSSELECT was a sorted table by FIELDNM.

@mattharding This hurts me every time I need to raise a SAP Case/Incident. (5 Cases this week already 😔)
I don't *want* to create a separate Word document and attach it...

@jasper_07 ... Or the quiet one who gives sage counsel, is often blood-stained but dependable to the end? 😉

[Glen Simpson @glensimpson]

@jasper_07 @njames 😂 If only...

[Glen Simpson @glensimpson]

@jasper_07 @njames I guess it depends what "on S/4HANA" means... Does it mean all systems or does it mean at least one system?
If some of those customers have other non-S/4HANA systems in their landscape then the 16% number hides even bigger problem.

[Glen Simpson @glensimpson]

@jasper_07 @njames Are the stats based on "customer" or "customer systems"?
(Some customers have multiple systems on various versions.)

[Glen Simpson @glensimpson]

@mattharding If you're asking about upgrading one S/4 version to another S/4 version within PCE then there's not a lot of difference for developers, in my experience.

[Glen Simpson @glensimpson]

@jasper_07 @apv999 @mattharding I see what you did there... 😂

[Glen Simpson @glensimpson]

@mattharding It's probably my inexperience but I still find the EML syntax a bit awkward. It doesn't flow naturally and I find myself reaching for the doco quite often.
I don't want to be too negative though as I like many of the RAP concepts.

[Glen Simpson @glensimpson]

@jasper_07 Only looked at it briefly but I like the way the "map" tries to clarify and then quantify people's assumptions. I could see it leading to some "discussions" when opinions differ.

[Glen Simpson @glensimpson]

@jasper_07 I like that one

@mattharding Noted for future reference. Thanks!
