Reading inherting classes

JosefKoenig — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 13:28:16 GMT

There are many function modules to read/update/create classes with SEO_CLASS*.

It is also possible to read the super class of a class. But i haven't found a function module that gives back a list if sub classes from a given class.

I debugged se80 and it looks they do a select in table vseoextend in function module WB_TREE_SELECT_CLASS.

subclass

SELECT clsname FROM vseoextend

INTO TABLE inheri_tab

WHERE refclsname = h_clsname.

SORT inheri_tab.

DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM inheri_tab.

You can use SEO_CLASS_GET_ALL_SUBS to read all subclasses

Hello Josef

Obviously SAP provides us with standard means to read classes and their relatives.

Since you have posted your question in the ABAP Objects forum my suggestion is to use class CL_OO_CLASS.

Create an instance of the class with your requested class name and call either of its methods:

- GET_SUBCLASSES

- GET_SUPERCLASS

Needless to say that there is the corresponding class CL_OO_INTERFACE for interfaces.
