One of the ugly hacks you do in SAP to make it work is reading/changing variables and structures inside the SAP standard code because there is no API exposing them.
It is blessed officially as doing a "dirty" assign.
- xmprt 6y ago> there is no API exposing them. If there's no API exposing them but there's a way to make use of the internals with a dirty assign then sounds like the internals are now part of the API.
- Mandatum 6y agoCorrect. Same reason I learned a bunch of German words writing against supposedly English-dev'd and platform agnostic abstractions. It's a fucking mess, but boy do they print money.
- tibbydudeza 6y agoIt is a feature of their language but you are on your own as a customer when an upgrade breaks the internals.
