ABAP Objects - Dynamic Method Calls in Release 4.6A

In ABAP_99A , the kernel functions of ABAP Objects are enhanced by dynamic method calls (or dynamic invoke ).


Dynamic method call

In addition to the old static
access , methods can now also be addressed dynamically using the usual ABAP parenthesis semantics.

Calls an instance method meth :
CALL METHOD ref- (f)

Calls a static method meth :
CALL METHOD class= (f)
CALL METHOD (c)= meth
CALL METHOD (c)= (f)

Calls a standalone method meth :
CALL METHOD (f)
CALL METHOD ME- (f)

f and c are fields containing the name of the method meth or class class .

In contrast to subroutines and function modules, the actual parameters can also be passed dynamically in dynamic
method calls .
