How to access Business object type attribute from a method/function modul ?

Former Member — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 20:39:58 GMT

Hello,

i have created a business object type object along with attributes and methods. Now inside the method i want to access the attributes. inside the method i am writing:

data a type XXX.

a = me->attribute

this is creating a compilation error.

Now the method is defined as a function module in some package, so can anyone inform me how to access object attributes from the function module ?

pointes are awarded

Regards

Hello,

thanks for your answer, but this too did not work, "=>" is for static attributes and the attributes i have are not static. Moreover, i tried it but it gave the same error :

the abap error was when i was checking the code is :

the type me=>documenttype is unknown

as you know in SWO1 i created an object and when i create a method you link it to a function module and this is where you have the implementation of the method, so from this method how can i access the attributes on the main object that i created in SWO1

regards

Hello Hassan

<b>A business "object" has nothing to do with (ABAP) OO-objects.</b> It is just a hierarchical representation that looks object-like. For example, the business object USER probably has a GET_DETAIL "method". However, the functional representation of this "method" is the function module BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL.

All "methods" of business objects are realized using BAPIs.
