Hi,

What is load-of-program and also let me know the functionality of load program..if possible one simple example.

Thanks

The processing block for LOAD-OF-PROGRAM has the same function for ABAP programs as a constructor has for classes.

Whenever you call a program using SUBMIT or a transaction code, a new internal session is opened. The LOAD-OF-PROGRAM event is therefore called in each program call.

External procedure calls

The first time you call an external procedure (subroutine or function module), the main program of the procedure that you called is loaded into the internal session of the calling program. The eventLOAD-OF-PROGRAM is triggered and the corresponding processing block is executed before the procedure that you called. However, subsequent calls from the same calling program to a procedure in the same subroutine pool or function group do not trigger the LOAD-OF-PROGRAM event.

so it's before the program is loaded in the memory for execution.

Hi,

LOAD-OF-PROGRAM.

Effect

Event keyword:

The corresponding event is triggered in an internal session immediately after a program with type 1, M, F, or S is loaded. The corresponding processing block is processed once per program and internal session.

The processing block LOAD-OF-PROGRAM has approximately the same function in an ABAP program with type 1, M, F, or S as the constructor method of a class in ABAP Objects.

Programs wiht type 1, M, F, or S can be loaded into an internal session in two ways:

Program calls

Whenever you call a program using SUBMIT or a transaction code, a new internal session is opened. The LOAD-OF-PROGRAM event is therefore called in each program call.

External procedure calls

The first time you call an external procedure (subroutine or function module), the main program of the procedure that you called is loaded into the internal session of the calling program. The event LOAD-OF-PROGRAM is triggered and the corresponding processing block is executed before the procedure that you called. However, subsequent calls from the same calling program to a procedure in the same subroutine pool or function group do not trigger the LOAD-OF-PROGRAM event.

If useful reward.

Directly after an executable program, a module pool, a function group or a subroutine pool has been loaded, a special processing block can be executed exactly once. This processing block is defined as an event block using the event keyword LOAD-OF-PROGRAM. The processing block for LOAD-OF-PROGRAM has the same function for ABAP programs as a constructor has for classes.
