instanceof keyword in ABAP

[arpitgoyal]

Hi,

I am a java developer, coding some APIs in ABAP. I need to know is there something similar to instanceof in ABAP?

If not, how do I achive this functionality.

Regards,

CL_LCR_UTIL=>INSTANCEOF

Can I use it productively. This means adding dependency to this class you have mentioned (having the static method)?

Also, I am trying to do the following:

method SET_PROPERTY_VALUE.

*CALL METHOD SUPER->SET_PROPERTY_VALUE

• EXPORTING

• IM_PROPERTY_ATTRIBUTE =

• IM_VALUE =

• .

DATA: l_object TYPE REF TO CL_SRAPI_BOOLEAN.

catch SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS move_cast_error = 4.

l_object ?= IM_VALUE.

endcatch.

if sy-subrc EQ 0.

me->SET_VALUE(

exporting

IM_VALUE = IM_VALUE

).

endif.

endmethod.

Is it okay?

Strictly, you shouldn't use it as it hasn't been documented. But you can use the code within it, as that uses the released class CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR, which is documented.

I've no idea what you mean by this.
