DESTRUCTOR

Former Member — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 17:42:22 GMT

Does anybody know, if and when SAP will allow the implementation of DESTRUCTOR in ABAP-OO? Currently, one is only allowed to call an C-Function (Kernel-Function) within the DESTRUCTOR?

see SAP-Note [168703|https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=168703&_NLANG=E]

Hi Mike,

I think we won't be able to implement DESTRUCTOR in ABAP Objects it because ABAP Objects was designed to be simple than Java and C++, and to omit complex concepts that lack in benefits such destructors !

"Currently ABAP Objects does not include any destructor, in which a regular ABAP processing block can be programmed. This means that the destructor makes it possible to call only a C routine name when an object is deleted. The routine must exist in the kernel in order that no syntax error occurs."

(The C Destructor Help information)

Don't forget to close this Thread when your question be answered !

Regards,

Marcelo Ramos

Mike Schernbeck ,

There is no such concept is available in ABAP. it is explicitly available in JAVA,C++.I don't know exact reason, why they not so?

Judging from the note. No and never.
