How to get the CLASSNAME from an UNINSTANCIATED object.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to get the Classname from an UNinstanciated object.

 METHOD constructor.
    DATA obj        TYPE REF TO zcl_c1h_zamiz_fil_dao.
    DATA classname  TYPE string.
    classname  = CLASS=>Method( obj ) .
ENDMETHOD.

The DEBUGGER mode provides this information:

Thank you very much.

Rachid.

To say it correctly, you want the static type of an initial reference variable (there is not such a thing as an uninstantiated object).

Use RTTI.

 DATA(class_name) = 
  CAST cl_abap_refdescr( 
    cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( oref ) 
      )->get_referenced_type( 
        )->absolute_name.

absolute_name returns for instance \CLASS=<the global class> (+ possibly some more complex "paths" for local classes)

You may use get_relative_name( ) to get the name of the class without the prefix \CLASS=

But absolute names are better suited for dynamic type specifications.

You're right (always 🙂 ). Sometimes the name of the class only is needed for some logics. As we don't know the final goal of the OP.
