How to access a parent class methods using child class object

[Former Member]

Hi

In ABAP

I have a Parent class with a method parent_method().

Child class in inheriting from Parent and redefining the parent_method().

In my z_program

I am creating a object of Child class and i want to access the parent_method in the Parent class.

Restrictions:

==>I don't want to call the child class method and then from there call the super class method.

Hi Guys,

Thanks ...

As i had mentioned that i don't want to call the child method that inturn will call super->parent_method.

Is there any otherway of doing it?

Hello Murugesh,

The keyword SUPER points to the Superclass directly. It is <b>not</b> routed through the subclass.

However, the SUPER keyword can only be used within a method of the subclass.

Murugesh,

Unless its inside the code of child method, it will not know which class is the parent class. Other wise you will have to find out manually which is the super class and call the method. But again I am not sure if you can specify the name of the class dynamically !
