Current method name (method meta data)

[former_member185943]

Hello!

Is it possible to get meta data about current method being executed? For example:

CLASS lcl_some_class IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD some_method.
    DATA: l_method_name TYPE char50.
*   (do something to get method name)
    WRITE 'Current method is: ', l_method_name.
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.

And the result would be something like:

LCL_SOME_CLASS->SOME_METHOD

Thanks!

Regards,

Igor

Hi Igor, this may not be fool proof, but it does work in my case.

              et_callstack = icallstack.


    read table icallstack into xcallstack index 1.

      l_method_name = xcallstack-eventname.

  call method lcl_some_class=>some_method.

Thanks, Rich!

Good enough for me. I can get the class name using RTTI, so I guess I have it all.
