Can I create class or report by code?

[raffinkira]

Normally, we use SE38 and SE24 to create reports and classes.

I am wondering if there is a coding way to do that.

Hi

How to download source code from the class builder SE24

To download the source code , go to each method and double click the method .. it opens up .. then go to the menu utlities -> more utilities->download .. you need to download individual methods like this ...i don't think is there any way to download whole class at a time.

Regards

Not that you're answering the question, but if you use the source-code based button in SE24, or Eclipse, you get all the methods in one go.

There are several ways, like function modules SEO_CLIF_MULTI_IMPORT or SEO_CLASS_CREATE_COMPLETE for class pools, you may check in abapGit how they are used (it also creates any other kind of repository object, so just look at its code).

I believe you are talking about ABAP code generation. Yes, it is very much possible. Use class CL_CMP_COMPOSER and templates.

Check this example: https://help.sap.com/doc/saphelp_dbm800/8.0/en-US/f4/0f5f790d494ad7b101f6b04990cd5f/content.htm?no_c...

It's specific to BRF+. The question is for mimicking SE38/SE24 programmatically.

As mentioned in my post it is an example of code generation. CL_CMP_COMPOSER is the primary class for ABAP code generation (though it is SAP internal). CL_CMP_COMPOSER is used in the example link I posted. Just do a 'Where Used List' on class CL_CMP_COMPOSER and you will see all ABAP generation examples.

The link I posted though is specific to BRF+ it is an example of Code generation using templates.

Sounds like you want to generate ABAP code dynamically. I have done it multiple times, it is possible. Check the commands INSERT REPORT and INSERT TEXTPOOL.
