Access Source Code of programs / functions

Former Member — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 07:38:05 GMT

Hello,

Is it possible to access (read only of course) the Source-Code of class-methods / function modules & abap programs in ABAP?

Example:

Function Module yy_test:


FUNCTION yy_test.

data yy_test_boolean type xfeld.

yy_test_boolean = 'X'.

ENDFUNCTION.

Webdynpro method:


Data lv_result type string.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_FUNCTION_SOURCE'
EXPORTING iv_name = 'YY_TEST'
IMPORITNG ev_source = lv_result.

==> lv_result = 'function yy_testndata yy_test_boolean type xfeld. \n\nyy_test_boolean = 'X'.\nendfunction'.

Thank you very much,

Timo Stark

Hi ,

To access source code of class methods , go to transaction se24 ,

Give the class name , you will get all methods , attributes etc .

Double click on the method to read the code.(Its only read only though).

Thanks,

Aditya.

Yeah.. I really meant a dynamic way.

E.g. imagine a situation in which i want to present the user the source of a class in a web-dynpro dynamically (==> the user can determine the name of the class).

Or another situation: I want to analyse the source-code of classes dynamically for common faults and programming mistakes.

This isn't really a web dynpro ABAP directly related question. You might want to use the source in a WD application, but actually retrieving the source code is not WD specific. I am going to move this question to ABAP General, but you should also search that forum or look at the source of the SAPlink project (or perform a trace during editing in SE80). There are internal APIs used within the workbench for accessing the class method's source code for example.

there are several FM´s that can read sources e.G. RV_READ_REPORT.

reports are stored in table REPOSRC. hope this will get you a bit further.
