Object types do not support ABAP language version keyUser

[schneidermic0]

Following object types actually do not support ABAP language version keyUser, but specify this in their enum values:

• CHKO Update ABAP language version for CHKC, CHKO, CHKV #351
• CHKC Update ABAP language version for CHKC, CHKO, CHKV #351
• CHKV Update ABAP language version for CHKC, CHKO, CHKV #351
• NROB [NROB] Fix ABAP language version #359

again, I'd argue to remove the language version from the object definitions, what if NROB sometime is supported in keyUser? Then the object definition must be changed, but its just another runtime that supports the object

I don't think we can remove the ABAP language version as it is stored per object. This design, IMHO, cannot be changed by ABAP file formats. See #44

If new enum values appear in the future, it will be added. We have the same issue for all other enumerations. Currently, we consider this as compatible change.

See: https://github.com/SAP/abap-file-formats/blob/main/docs/json.md#format-versions-and-compatibility

Values for a field (enum) are added (remark: this might lead to syntax errors in ABAP systems which don't support this value)

[larshp]

the file format does not need to directly reflect the implementation in the system, eg. specific names and/or fields

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean

just going in circles 😁 #44
