Syntax Error

Former Member — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:11:56 GMT

Hi,

I'm getting a syntax error in the following code at last line saying 'Statemetn is not accessible'. Can some one tell me why it is not accessabile & what wrong in the code?



REPORT  ztest_classes.
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*

Hi,

Try

START-OF-SELECTION.

CREATE OBJECT ref1.

or INITIALIZATION

CREATE OBJECT ref1.

Or you an move your implementations to the end of the program.

REPORT  ztest_classes.
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
 
 
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
*       CLASS class1 DEFINITION
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
*
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
CLASS class1 DEFINITION.
  PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS: fun1.
    DATA: var1.
ENDCLASS.                    "class1 DEFINITION
 

 
 
DATA: ref1 TYPE REF TO class1.
 
CREATE OBJECT ref1.
 ref1->fun1( ).


*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
*       CLASS class1 IMPLEMENTATION
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
*
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
CLASS class1 IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD fun1.
    WRITE:/ 'Inside FUN1 of class1'.
  ENDMETHOD.                                                "fun1
ENDCLASS.                    "class1 IMPLEMENTATION

Hi,

Basically you should have some event such as START-OF-SELECTION after your class implementation.

Otherwise anything declared is considered as a part of the class and if it is not declared within the implementation you get this syntax error.

Thank you Gary & Rich.

Both of your solutions have solved the problem. Could you please let me know the reason why start-of-selection has to be mentioned or why the implemention should be moved to the end of the code.

>  Could you please let me know the reason why....

Because otherwise, you will get a syntax error.

Basically it is a qwirk of the ABAP syntax checker.
