Abap New Syntax 7.5

The document provides recommendations for replacing commonly used ABAP statements and constructs with alternative expressions. Some key replacements include: 1) Using inline declarations instead of DATA and FIELD-SYMBOLS declarations and constructor expressions with CORRESPONDING instead of MOVE CORRESPONDING. 2) Using constructor expressions like NEW, REF, VALUE instead of CREATE DATA/OBJECT and GET REFERENCE OF. 3) Using constructor expressions like SWITCH, COND instead of IF/ELSE blocks for assigning values within multiple cases.
