Hi,

You can call a protected method in a class if the class is a subclass of that super class.

for that use inheritance.

class super_class definition.
 protected section.
 methods protected_method.
endclass.

class super_class implementation.
 method protected_method.
  ...............
...............
end method.
endclass.

Class sub_class inheriting from super_class.

endclass.


Class sub_class implementation.
 method protected_method.   " If you are redefining
  ............
...........

end method.

endclass.

start-of-selection.

data: ref_sub type ref to sub_class. " referenec variable

create object ref_sub.   "creating instance or object

call method ref_sub->protected_method.  " calling the protected method

like that

Hi,

Create the subclass to the class from which the protected method should be invoked. Then use that subclass and call that protected method.
