Database Procedure Proxy is a proxy object in the ABAP Data Dictionary

Similar to calling methods / function modules:

CALL DATABASE PROCEDURE procedure_name
EXPORTING
iv_param

= lv_param

IMPORTING
et_param_1 = lt_param_1

et_param_2 = lt_param_2 .

An ABAP interface is generated to hold parameter type definitions

can be used to type the actual parameters of the proxy call

ABAP on HANA
External Views and Database Procedure Proxies Summary

Requires at least SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SP2 and the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) 2.7

HANA views and database procedures can be imported into the ABAP Dictionary as External Views and
Database Procedure Proxies respectively

HANA views and database procedures must exist in the HANA repository to be imported into DDIC using ADT
No ADT support for "HANA catalog-only" artifacts

External Views and Database Procedure Proxies can be called using OPEN SQL and the new ABAP
statement CALL DATABASE PROCEDURE respectively

External Views and Database Procedure Proxies can be synchronized with one click!

Not all HANA types are supported, e.g. HANA's date type cannot be mapped to ABAP type DATS

HANA views with input parameters are not supported
