how to call BOR object-> method in custom program

[Former Member]

hi all,

I have the following details:

BOR object : INSTLN

Method: createdirect

I need to call the above method in my custom program.

I need to call it entirely. Means if it contains fn modules I dont want to call those fn modules seperately.

Hello

Please note that the business object model is only a semantic model and has absolutely nothing in common with ABAP-OO.

If you call transaction SWO1 with BOR object INSTLN on ECC 6.0 there is a single "method" implemented:

- UtilInstallation.ChangeFacts => implemented by BAPI_UTILINSTALLATION_CHANFACT

Hi Sammy,

Phil Soady from SAP Australia provided me with this little gem a few years back. The actual documentation for this can be found somewhere in the workflow programming area, but I just looked and couldn't find it for you. Anyway, this is a sample program I built to show how to do this. In this example I call the Display method of the Sales Document BO.

INCLUDE <cntn02>.
INCLUDE <cntn03>.

FUNCTION zcallbomethod.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------

*"*"Local interface:

*"----------------------------------------------------------------------

* Data declaration
***************************************************
  DATA: vbak_ref TYPE swc_object.

*************************************************
  swc_create_object vbak_ref 'VBAK' '0000000009'. "Sales Document Number

* Call Display
***************************************************
  swc_call_method vbak_ref 'Display' container.

* Error handling

  IF sy-subrc NE 0.

    .....

  ENDIF.

ENDFUNCTION.
