Now I have a nice abstract superclass and now I have to check references what type they have, before casting them into the subclasses. I'm looking for something like "instanceof" in java. Does someone know how to do that in Abap?</P><P></P><P>Best regards</P><P>Patrick Lehmann</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 Apr 2006 07:28:52 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/finding-out-what-subtype-a-reference-is/m-p/1222569#M136945 Former Member 2006-04-11T07:28:52Z Re: Finding out what Subtype a reference is https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/finding-out-what-subtype-a-reference-is/m-p/1222570#M136946 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,</P><P></P><P>Sure, we do have runtime type identification for each object instance. </P><P></P><P>Use the Class CL_ABAP_CLASSDESCR to get the RTTI of any object instance.</P><P></P><P>Read more on how to use this class in Class documentation.</P><P></P><P>Hope this helps.</P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Nagaraju Chidurupalli.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 14 Apr 2006 19:40:51 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/finding-out-what-subtype-a-reference-is/m-p/1222570#M136946 Former Member 2006-04-14T19:40:51Z
