Interface Component Selector
A component comp of an interface is accessed using the name
intf~comp
In this case, the character ~ is the interface component
selector. The name intf of an interface must be to the left of
the interface component selector. The name comp of the component
must be to the right of the object component selector.
The name intf~comp identifies the components of interfaces in
classes or component interfaces in composite interfaces.
ABAP_PGL Address interface
components using interface reference variables
Note
An interface contains each component exactly once, regardless of how it
is composed of component interfaces. All the interface components are at
the same hierarchical level. The name of an interface component is
uniquely defined using intf~comp . intf is always the
interface in which the component is declared. A direct chaining of
interface names intf1~...~intfn~comp is not possible.
