Clarifications on an ABAP objects code

Former Member — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 11:56:35 GMT

Hi Experts,

I found this code and i am trying to understand its logic:

DATA: l_s_source_kyf TYPE rslbct_tg_stock_kyf,
           l_s_target_kyf TYPE /rtf/_s_kyf.
     MOVE-CORRESPONDING SOURCE_FIELDS TO l_s_source_kyf.
     l_s_target_kyf-fieldnm =
       if_rslbct_kyf_transform_con=>c_kyf_iss_ein_qua.
     CALL METHOD (g_clnam)=>stock_adjust
       EXPORTING
         iv_s_source_kyf = l_s_source_kyf
       CHANGING
         cv_s_target_kyf = l_s_target_kyf.
     RESULT = l_s_target_kyf-value_qua.

I have a question on this line:

     CALL METHOD (g_clnam)=>stock_adjust

I understood that the system is calling the method g_clnam, but i don't understand the

=>stock_adjust

Could someone explain me please?

Thanks.

i Believe stock_adjust is the name of static method available in class varriable (g_clnam), the class name can be identified only at runtime.

g_clnam contains the name of the class for which method is implemented. since you are using => symbol that means trying to call the class method ( stock_adjust) you need to give the class name as well. Therfore

CALL METHOD (g_clnam)=>stock_adjust means that g_clnam is the class which is calling the class method stock_adjust.

Thanks & Regards
