  METHODS: constructor.
  METHODS: my,
           name.
ENDCLASS.                    "A DEFINITION

CLASS a IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD b.
    DATA screen TYPE REF TO a.
    CREATE OBJECT screen.
  ENDMETHOD.                    "B

  METHOD constructor.
    CALL METHOD : me->my.
  ENDMETHOD.                    "Constructor

ENDCLASS.                    "A IMPLEMENTATION

Hello,

You have to create a formal parameter for the method MY & pass your internal table to it:

Something like this:

Class A definition.
class-methods B.
methods: constructor.
methods: my IMPORTING im_itab TYPE <line type of your internal table>,
name.
Endclass.

In your CONSTRUCTOR pass the Internal Table value:

Method Constructor.
call method me->my EXPORTING im_tab = itab[].
endmethod.

In classes, we don't have the header line. So, there is no need to pass the "body" by []. Internal table name is enough to pass the data... Specifying it without the brackets avoids the confusion...

Hi Suhas Saha.

Really thanks for your reply and i am trying my level best to try and error due i m new to this abap objects.

But i have question.

Is it possible to pass the itab[] from CALL METHOD a=>b.This is because my internal table is coming from other place.

I mean not in the class.

Basically it is coming from the screen 100 or main screen or previous screen.

Please advice if i am doing a mistake.

HI Matt. Thanks a lot and i will follow your guide.

Thank a lot everyone.

You define your CLASS-METHOD (also known as a static method) to have parameters, exactly in the way that Suhas showed you for method "my".

CLASS-METHODS b IMPORTING it_data TYPE <type of your internal table>.

I suggest your read carefully, again, the documentation on the various keywords - CLASS-METHODS, METHODS etc.

HI Matt and Suhas Saha,

I have done it. I used Sahas Saha tips and i did some search in SDN.

I got. It is good start for me in abap objects.

Thanks a lot everyone Matt and Suhas Saha.

I will close this thread.

Can I suggest that you get into the habit, right now, of using meaningful class, method and attribute names.
