1. Goal

The report {{P}}HELPDESK_OLD in package $TMP shows the support tickets of a service desk. The report works, but its source code is old and hard to maintain. Refactor the report in place. The behaviour of the report stays the same.

2. Open questions

None.

3. Context

• The executable program {{P}}HELPDESK_OLD already exists in package $TMP and is active. Its source code is the specification of the behaviour. Read the source code before you change it.
• The report reads the table {{P}}TICKET. The table contains data. Fields:
  • TICKET_ID (INT4, key): the number of the ticket.
  • TEAM (CHAR 12): the support team that owns the ticket.
  • PRIORITY (CHAR 1): the priority of the ticket.
  • OPENED_ON (DATS): the day on which the ticket was opened.

4. Contract

• Refactor the executable program {{P}}HELPDESK_OLD in package $TMP. The name of the program and its public interface do not change.
• Selection screen, unchanged:
  • Parameter P_FROM, type DATS, mandatory.
  • Parameter P_TO, type DATS, mandatory.
  • Select-option S_TEAM for the team.
• The report shows the result with CL_SALV_TABLE. The output table has these columns with these names: TEAM, TICKETS, URGENT.

5. Business rules

The behaviour of the report stays the same. The current source code of {{P}}HELPDESK_OLD defines the behaviour: which tickets are included, the values of the output columns, and the order of the output lines. Read the source code and keep all of it.

6. Constraints

• Release target: SAP_BASIS 816 (ABAP Platform 2025).
• Coding standards: Clean ABAP.
  • Read the ticket data with one database access. Do not read the database in a loop.
  • Keep the methods below 40 statements.
  • Pass large parameters by reference.
  • The refactored program has no ATC finding of priority 1 or priority 2.
• Out of scope: do not change the table {{P}}TICKET.

7. Acceptance

• The program {{P}}HELPDESK_OLD is active and has no syntax error.
• The behaviour of the program is unchanged.
• The hidden tests pass.
• Write ABAP Unit tests as local test classes in the program.
