The new constructor operators

NEW creates objects
FIELD-SYMBOLS <lv_fS> TYPE data.
DATA ref_data TYPE REF TO data.
CREATE DATA ref_data TYPE i.
ASSIGN ref_data->* TO <lv_fs>.
<lv_fs> = 555.
DATA ref_data TYPE REF TO data.
Ref_data = NEW i( 555 ).

VALUE creates values

DATA lt_itab TYPE t_itab.
DATA lwa LIKE LINE OF lt_itab.
wa-col1 = 1. wa-col2 = 2.
APPEND lwa TO lt_itab.
wa-col1 = 3. wa-col2 = 4.
APPEND lwa_wa TO lt_itab.
method( lt_itab )
method( VALUE t_itab(
( col1 = 1 col2 = 2 )
( col1 = 3 col2 = 4 ) ) ).

REF gets references

DATA ref_data TYPE REF TO string.
GET REFERENCE OF para INTO ref_data.
DATA(lt_tab) =
VALUE abap_parmbind_tab(
( name = name
kind = cl_abap_objectdescr=>exporting
value = ref_data ) ).

CALL METHOD (class)=>(meth) PARAMETER-TABLE lt_tab.

DATA(lt_tab) =
VALUE abap_parmbind_tab(
( name = name
kind = cl_abap_objectdescr=>exporting
value = REF #( para ) ) ).
CALL METHOD (class)=>(meth) PARAMETER-TABLE lt_tab.

EXACT performs lossless calculations or assignments

TYPES numtext TYPE n LENGTH 255.
DATA number TYPE numtext.
TRY.
MOVE EXACT '4 Apples + 3 Oranges' TO number.
CATCH cx_sy_conversion_error INTO DATA(exc).
...
ENDTRY.
TYPES numtext TYPE n LENGTH 255.
TRY.
DATA(number) = EXACT numtext( '4 Apples + 3 Oranges' ).
CATCH cx_sy_conversion_error INTO DATA(exc).
ENDTRY.

CAST performs up or down casts

DATA structdescr TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr.
structdescr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( 'T100' ).
DATA(components) = structdescr->components.
DATA(components) =
CAST cl_abap_structdescr(
cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( 'T100' )

COND and SWITCH enable conditional expressions

DATA time TYPE string.
IF sy-timlo < '120000'.
time = |{ sy-timlo TIME = ISO } AM|.
ELSEIF sy-timlo > '120000'.
time = |{ CONV t( sy-timlo - 12 * 3600 )

ELSEIF sy-timlo = '120000'.

RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE cx_cant_be.
ENDIF.

TIME = ISO } PM|
WHEN sy-timlo = '120000' THEN
|High Noon|
ELSE
THROW cx_cant_be( ) ).

Switch
DATA number TYPE string.
CASE sy-index.
WHEN 1.
number = 'one'.
WHEN 2.
number = 'two'.
WHEN 3.
number = 'three'.
WHEN OTHERS.
RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE cx_overflow.
ENDCASE.

DATA(number) =
SWITCH string( sy-index
WHEN 1 THEN 'one'
WHEN 2 THEN 'two'
WHEN 3 THEN 'three'
ELSE THROW cx_overflow( ) ).

Read
READ TABLE itab INDEX idx INTO wa.
lwa = itab[ idx ].

READ TABLE flights WITH KEY

col1 = ... col2 = ... INTO wa.
lwa = itab[col1 = ... col2 = ... ].

Asuming the Document Structure is

JSON
Readers and Writers
DATA(json) = cl_abap_codepage=>convert_to( `{"TEXT":"JSON"}` ).
