Determine class name used for calling a static method

[pokrakam]

Hi all,

I know static methods cannot be redefined, but they can be called using a subclass as the 'calling class name'. Is it possible to determine the object type used for calling a static method?

For example, I have ZCL_SUPER with a static method HELLO and a subclass ZCL_SUB.

I can use ZCL_SUPER=>HELLO( ) or I can use ZCL_SUB=>HELLO( ).

Both will execute the same code (correct), but is it possible to tell the difference inside the HELLO method? SY-REPID will always show the superclass (also correct).

I've found some similar threads but none with a clear answer.

Any input appreciated,

Mike

I guess there is no simple solution. I expect that the compiler interprets the symbolic names ZCL_SUPER=> and ZCL_SUB=> in order to point to the method and forgets about it. Why should it keep the information? In fact I have a similar problem: Is there a simple way to find out the name of an actual parameter passed to a formal parameter inside a method? It isn't! I ended up in interpreting the call stack and parsing the calling code!

Thanks Horst,

I was looking on CL_DEMO_OUTPUT before, but I thought that maybe there is other way Now I need some time to adapt this to my need.

Cheers
