ABAP OOP Syntax help

[jeff_broodwar]

Hi Experts,

I'm having a problem accessing a table inside a method. I'm hoping someone can help formulate the correct syntax to accomplish this.

The scenario takes place after clicking on delete button of a custom class ALV. Through debug, I found only 1 variable (layout) accessible inside the method "Process_delete_records". I'd like to process the content of the table inside the method "Process_delete_records".

Here's the complete path of the table:

LAYOUT->FALV->CL_GUI_ALV_GRID_BASE->M_SELECTED_ROWS-ROW_ID

I attached some photos for your reference:

Hope someone can help me with this.

Thank you,

Geoff

If it's a private attribute, you can't access it except if there's a public method which accesses and returns this private attribute. If needed, create this public method. I'm afraid that your question is not giving enough details to help you more. Instead of showing screenshots of existing code, explain by creating a tiny program to support your question and paste it as code to let people reply by adapting it.

You may need OO knowledge: if your custom class inherits from a given class (e.g. CL_GUI_ALV_GRID_BASE), you may call any public method from this inherited class.

Class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID_BASE has a method GET_SELECTED_ROWS_ID_BASE which will return the table ROW_TABLE which should contain all the selected rows. ROW_TABLE contains the ROW_ID you are looking for. Use the instance of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID_BASE to call this method to get the ROW_ID. Hope it helps.

@Sandra, thanks for your time, I can do oop, I just haven't explored the available methods, when I saw the GET_SELECTED_ROWS_ID_BASE Raghavendran already posted it here. Appreciate the time.

@Raghavendran_Mohandoss spot on ! this is what I need, I was checking how to access the data from the path I provided when I checked other methods from this class and found it. I haven't tested it but when I saw your answer to this thread then you have confirmed my thoughts. Thank you sir.
