get name of current method

[joachim_gross]

I need to know a way to find out the name of the currently running method.

eg:

method abc.

data: m_name type abap_methname.

m_name = xxx->current_method( ).

endmethod.

m_name should be 'ABC'.

If course i know the name on design time but it is not my aim to use literals.

So does anyone know how to get the method name?

try this (I got it to work, but let me know if it works for you:

data: f1(100) type c.

get parameter id 'DBG_SOURCE_PROGRAM' field f1.

Sorry Paul,

this is nothing but the started program.

I need the methodname, so above mentioned function module or following snippet is useful:

types:

begin of t_abap_callstack_entry,

mainprogram type dbgsrepid,

include type dbgsrepid,

line type dbglinno,

eventtype type dbglevtype,

event type dbglevent,

flag_system type c length 1,

end of t_abap_callstack_entry,

t_abap_callstack type standard table of t_abap_callstack_entry with default key.

DATA: l_tab_aut_callstack TYPE lcl_abapunit_callstack=>t_abap_callstack,

l_str_aut_callstack TYPE lcl_abapunit_callstack=>t_abap_callstack_entry.

call 'ABAP_CALLSTACK'

id 'DEPTH' field -10

id 'CALLSTACK' field l_tab_aut_callstack.

Hi Joachim, would it be possible to share source code of class lcl_abapunit_callstack? Thanks&regards, Martin

[joachim_gross]

Hi Martin,

sorry for the typo, in the snippet the class lcl-abapunit_callstack is not needed.

Rememeber the function module but for those interested in the correct snippet:

types:

begin of t_abap_callstack_entry,

mainprogram type dbgsrepid,

include type dbgsrepid,

line type dbglinno,

eventtype type dbglevtype,

event type dbglevent,

flag_system type c length 1,

end of t_abap_callstack_entry,

t_abap_callstack type standard table of

t_abap_callstack_entry with default key.

DATA: l_tab_aut_callstack TYPE t_abap_callstack,

l_str_aut_callstack TYPE t_abap_callstack_entry.

call 'ABAP_CALLSTACK'

id 'DEPTH' field -10

id 'CALLSTACK' field l_tab_aut_callstack.

Joachim

Hi,

shorly u will always no the name of the method or have a variable containing its name.. wont you?, otherwise how will you call it?

[joachim_gross]

The method is called from the ABAPUnit-class.

So i cannot change the caller and i have to know the methodname on runtime.

Of course I could use a literal but that's no good. Best way is as already mentioned to use the fm system_callstack.

[joachim_gross]

In the sap.devel.lang.abap i got the right hint.

Use the call stack via function module system_callstack.

Maybe you can use FM SYSTEM_CALLSTACK for that purpose.
