What does it do? These names are used to specify methods dynamically.
ABAP Addition BEGIN_SECTION ID CALL-METHOD-DYNAMIC-METHOD
What does it do? meth_name> expects a character-like field that must contain the name of a method when the statement is executed. END_SECTION ID CALL-METHOD-DYNAMIC-METHOD
ABAP Addition
What does it do? class_name> expects a character-like field that must contain the name of a class in uppercase letters when the statement is executed. An absolute type name> can also be specified. The following can be specified for class_name>:
Literal or constants If the data object class_name> is specified as a character literal or as a constant, it can be evaluated statically, and the specified class is recognized as the used object.
Variable BEGIN_SECTION ID CALL-METHOD-DYNAMIC-CLASS If the data object class_name> is specified as a variable, it is specified only dynamically, and the content is not evaluated statically. END_SECTION ID CALL-METHOD-DYNAMIC-CLASS When the statement is executed, class_name> is not evaluated until runtime (in both cases).
ABAP Alternative 1 ... (meth_name) ...>
What does it do? This variant is only possible for methods of the same class. It works like me->(meth_name)> (see alternative 2).
ABAP Alternative 2 ... oref->(meth_name) ...> BEGIN_SECTION ID CALL-METHOD-DYNAMIC-REF
What does it do? This form is possible for all visible methods of objects. oref> can be any class reference variable> or interface reference variable> that points to an object containing the method or interface method specified in meth_name>. The system first searches in the static type> and then in the dynamic type> of oref> for the method.
Latest notes:
In dynamic access as in static access, interface reference variables cannot be used to access any components, only interface components. NON_V5_HINTS
The pseudo reference> super> cannot be used in a dynamic method call. ABAP_HINT_END END_SECTION ID CALL-METHOD-DYNAMIC-REF
ABAP Alternative 3 ... class=>(meth_name) ...>
ABAP Alternative 4 ... (class_name)=>(meth_name) ...>
ABAP Alternative 5 ... (class_name)=>meth ...>
What does it do? These forms are possible for all visible static methods. Both the class and method can be specified dynamically. The class class> and the method meth> can also be specified directly. For alternatives with a dynamic class specification (class_name)>, the system first searches the class and then the method. If class> is specified statically, the search for the method is carried out in the existing class.
Latest notes:
Methods of local classes can be called externally only by specifying the compilation unit>. In the case of
