下图是我用SAP Fiori Smart Template开发出来的UI。
SAP标准的用List report template做的reference application: https://sapui5.netweaver.ondemand.com/test-resources/sap/suite/ui/generic/template/demokit/demokit.html?responderOn=true&demoApp=products
Smart template是基于元数据驱动的开发，大部分时候不需要书写前端JavaScript代码。
我要创建一个view，从Service order guid拿到它的ship to party信息。后台的表我都找好了。
CRMD_PARTNER的partner_no 字段类型是CHAR32，而我要join的BUT000的partner_guid类型是RAW16.
这两个field technical类型确实不一样，但是在ABAP里CHAR32和RAW16是等价的。我理解这样设计的原因是CDS view要support所有的DB，而不仅仅是ABAP。所以报错。
这种情况下有没有其他的办法可以绕过这个错呢？换其他的field来做join肯定不能接受，因为CRMD_PARTNER上只有partner_no这个CHAR32的字段保存了正确的信息。
或者CDS 语法里有没有做类型转换的keyword？我也再继续google一下。
这个人遇到的问题和我一样：
专家回复了， 不支持。只有用CDS table function。原因也很简单，要支持所有的DB platform。
CDS 里有CAST的关键字，但是专家confirm了不能走类型这条路，因为无法保证这个类型转换在所有DB platform上都工作。
我2013年12月曾经研究过AMDP，这条路可以走通。只是当时没试过如何在CDS view里consume这个生成的procedure。
我现在正在试。
大方向是这样的哈，CDS可以很容易的调用Table function（跟调用CDSview一样），然后table function具体的实现是通过AMDP实现的。
比如下面这个。
define table function ZI_DSO_TF with parameters @Environment.systemField: #CLIENT p_client : abap.clnt, p_rblsrollingaveragemonths : abap.int1, p_revnrollingaveragemonths : abap.int1, p_todaydate : abap.char( 8 ), p_displaycurrency : abap.char( 5 ), p_exchangeratetype : abap.char( 4 ) returns { Client : abap.clnt; CompanyCode : abap.char( 4 ); Customer : abap.char( 10 ); CalendarYear : abap.numc( 4 ) ; CalendarMonth : abap.numc( 2 ); CompanyCodeCurrency : abap.cuky( 5 ); FinancialAccountType : abap.char( 1 ); ExchangeRateType : abap.char( 4 ); CustomerCountry : abap.char( 3 ); CustomerRegion : abap.char( 3 ); AccountingClerk : abap.char( 2 ); CustomerBasicAuthorizationGrp : abap.char( 4 ); DurationUnit : abap.unit( 3 ); ChartofAccounts : abap.char( 4 ); ReconciliationAccount : abap.char( 10 ); DisplayCurrency : abap.cuky( 5 ); DebitAmtInDisplayCrcy : abap.curr( 23, 2 ); CalendarYearMonth : abap.char( 6 ); } implemented by method ZCL_MM_DSO_TF=>tf_test2; Implementation of table function: CLASS ZCL_MM_DSO_TF DEFINITION PUBLIC FINAL CREATE PUBLIC .

ENDCLASS. 我自己做了一个，已经跑通了。
