Read ABAP codes from class method

[former_member367551]

Dear experts,

Is there a way for me to read ABAP codes from a class method?

I understand that the methods can be found from the database table SEOCOMPO where CMPTYPE = 1. But I'm still unable to find a way to read the ABAP source codes of these methods (tried searching for the necessary FMs to accomplish this, but I can't get any too).

Please help, if there are any ideas at all.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Deborah,

You should have a look to MF SEO_METHOD_GET_SOURCE.

You have to fill MTDKEY with class name / method name and STATE with the state of activation of your method (in most of cases, you will have to put 'A' : activated)...

DATA : ls_mtdkey     TYPE seocpdkey,
         lt_source     TYPE TABLE OF edpline,
         lt_source_exp TYPE rswsourcet,
         ld_incname    TYPE program.

  ls_mtdkey-clsname = 'CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR'.
  ls_mtdkey-cpdname = 'CREATE'.

  CALL FUNCTION 'SEO_METHOD_GET_SOURCE'
    EXPORTING
      mtdkey          = ls_mtdkey
      state           = 'A'
    IMPORTING
      SOURCE          = lt_source
      source_expanded = lt_source_exp
      incname         = ld_incname
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS          = 1.

Best regards,
