Pass <OBJECT> to method (analog to java)

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

in JAVA all classes inherited from the superclass <object>.

So it is possible to get the information/metadata abound the object within a method by processing

e.g.

if (obj instanceof String) {

Is there a analogon in ABAP?

Wghen yes, how has the coding to be?

Thanks

Hi Mario,

Yes its the same in ABAP also. All classes inherit from superclass OBJECT. The root node of all inheritance trees in ABAP objects is the pre-defined empty class OBJECT.

Hoping this helps you

Hi Sheetal,

asuming I have a method with just one  import-Parameter.

The Client is passing either a string or a integer to the method.

So the import-Parameter has to be from type object. OK?

Inside the method the coding has to fin out if a string or an int is passed.

How do I have to define the Import Parameter?

How can I figure out string or int (like JAVA: instanceOf)

Thanks
