Home grown BAdI (Enhancement Spot) - Method "SEND_MESSAGE" is unknown or PROTECTED or PRIVATE

[rosenberg_eitan]

Hi,

I am trying to create home grown BAdI .

Using SE18 I created:

Enhancement Spot: Y_EITAN_ENHANCEMENT_SPOT_01 .
Enhancement implementation: Y_ENHANCEMENT_IMP_01
Interface for a BAdI: Y_EITAN_BADI_01_INT
BAdI Definition: Y_EITAN_BADI_01
BadI Implementation: Y_EITAN_BADI_01_IMP_01
Implementing Class: Y_EITAN_BADI_01_IMP_01

Screens:

No problem so far....

I created a test program Y_R_EITAN_TEST_51_18 .

*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
FORM test_02 .

  DATA: ob_y_eitan_badi_01 TYPE REF TO y_eitan_badi_01 .

  GET BADI ob_y_eitan_badi_01 .

* Does not compile....
* Complain about: Method "SEND_MESSAGE" is unknown or PROTECTED or PRIVATE

  CALL METHOD ob_y_eitan_badi_01->send_message
    EXPORTING
      message = 'Hi there from test 02 .'.

  BREAK-POINT .

ENDFORM .                                                   "test_02
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*

I get this syntax message: Method "SEND_MESSAGE" is unknown or PROTECTED or PRIVATE

To verify that method "send_message" is public I have created this piece of code and it is

compiling and working with no problem.

As you can see I am using the interface and the class from the BadI .

*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
FORM test_01 .

* A class that implement Y_EITAN_BADI_01_INT interface
  DATA: ob_y_eitan_badi_01_imp_01 TYPE REF TO y_eitan_badi_01_imp_01 .

  CREATE OBJECT ob_y_eitan_badi_01_imp_01 .

* Interface
  DATA: ob_y_eitan_badi_01_int TYPE REF TO y_eitan_badi_01_int .

  ob_y_eitan_badi_01_int ?= ob_y_eitan_badi_01_imp_01 .

  CALL METHOD ob_y_eitan_badi_01_int->send_message
    EXPORTING
      message = 'Hi there from test 01 .'.

ENDFORM .                                                   "test_01

*----------------------------------------------------------------------*

Am I missing somthing here ?

Regards.

Hi Eitan,

please check your implementing class. Method should be Public.

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt replay.

The method is a result of an interface.

As you can see that it is gray out in even in edit mode.

Here it is:

Thanks.

Hi Eitan,

you have to do a CALL BADI instead of CALL METHOD.

CALL BADI ob_y_eitan_badi_01->send_message

    EXPORTING

      message = 'Hi there from test 02 .
