Pattern - Functional Method Calls

Former Member — Wed, 14 May 2008 07:24:57 GMT

I've recently come off the BC401 course and I thought that there was a setting that when you use the PATTERN option it would format it in the functional method style?

ie p_bee = cl_htmlb_dropdownlistbox->factory ( etc etc etc )

instead of

call method cl_htmlb_dropdownlistbox etc etc etc

Am I correct? I searched in Utilities->Settings but couldn't find anything?

From the editor:

Utilities->settings->ABAP Editor->Pattrn->Functional Writing Style for Call METHOD.

if you don't find it, perhaps it's only available in newer releases.

Hi Matthew

Thanks for the reply. I'm on 620 and since the course was on Netweaver 7, I'd agree it must have been introduced in a later release.
