When is it appropriate to use Enhanced Open SQL?

Using Enhanced Open SQL is particularly suitable in scenarios where you are dealing with a single piece of code. This approach allows developers to write SQL statements more comfortably and flexibly within ABAP programs. Enhanced Open SQL is integrated into the ABAP language, enabling seamless interaction between database operations and ABAP logic.

When you're working with a singular cohesive unit of code, the Enhanced Open SQL provides benefits such as improved readability and maintainability, since it eliminates the need for context switching between different programming paradigms. It allows for the embedding of SQL-like syntax directly within the ABAP code, making it easier to understand and manage for developers.

In contrast, while other scenarios such as complex queries, manipulation of scalar components, or working within dictionary views might utilize Enhanced Open SQL, these are not defining characteristics for its use. Enhanced Open SQL can indeed handle complex queries well but it’s not exclusively tied to that situation. Similarly, it can manipulate scalar components and be used within dictionary views, but these contexts are not as indicative of its primary purpose as the use in a single cohesive piece of code.
