Implicit Enhancement Options
In addition to enhancement options
that can be created explicitly using
ENHANCEMENT-POINT and
ENHANCEMENT-SECTION , implicit enhancement options exist in the
following places in ABAP programs:
After the last line of the source code of executable programs, function
groups, module pools, subroutine pools, and include programs.
Before the first and after the last line of the implementation of a
procedure (after the introductory statement and before the END
statement)
Before the first and after the last line of a
source code plug-in (after
ENHANCEMENT and before ENDENHANCEMENT )
At the end of a visibility area in the declaration section of a local
class
At the end of a list of formal parameters of the same name at the
declaration of local methods
In structure definitions with BEGIN OF and END OF before
the statement with the END OF addition
The enhancement implementations for implicit enhancement options can
only ever be appended to a single framework program, which means that
the implicit enhancement options are not available in include programs
when the following applies:
The include program is not included in a framework program.
The include program is included more than once in a framework program.
The include program is included in multiple programs, and none of these
programs is selected as a relevant framework program in ABAP Workbench.
The include program is included in multiple programs and at least one of
these programs contains an include-bound explicit enhancement option
(that is, an option defined using the addition
INCLUDE BOUND ).
To make implicit enhancement options visible in the ABAP Editor, choose
Edit -> Enhancement Operations -> Show Implicit Enhancement
Operations . They can be enhanced in using
source code enhancements in
the same way as explicit enhancement options.
Note
The visibility sections of global classes and the parameter interfaces
of function modules and global methods also contain implicit enhancement
options. These can be displayed and enhanced in Class Builder or
Function Builder.
