创建全局ABAP类

You will learn

• How to create a global class that retrieves data from the back end
• How to use an internal table
• How to use an ABAP structure as a type for the returning parameter
• How to display data in a SAP List Viewer (“ALV Grid”)

---

Step 1: Open your ABAP program and remove the WRITE statement

1. First, open your ABAP program, ZSO_INVOICE_ITEMS_EURO which you created in the previous tutorial, Create and run an ABAP application.

   

2. Remove the existing method implementation for the run method.

   

完成

Step 2: Create an instance of a new global class

Now you will create the an object with the type of a new global class, for retrieving backend data.

1. In the run method, create an instance of class zcl_invoice_retrieval using the new operator:

ABAP

Copy

data(invoices) = new ZCL_INVOICE_RETRIEVAL( ).

1. Since this class does not yet exist, you will get a syntax error. To create the class, place the cursor on the class name and open the Quick Assist by choosing Ctrl+1. In the Quick Assist menu, double-click on Create global class zcl_invoice_retrieval:

   

2. A wizard will appear to create a new ABAP class. Enter:

   • a name ZCL_INVOICE_RETRIEVAL
   • a description invoice Retrieval

3. Choose Finish:

   

A new editor will be opened showing the class you have created, ZCL_INVOICE_RETRIEVAL.

Since release 7.40, ABAP permits inline declarations. For more information, see: - Old and new ABAP syntax – overview sheet - 7.4 Release News - Inline Declaration I

完成

Step 3: Check the syntax

If necessary, go back to your program and trigger the syntax check using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F2.

The syntax error should no longer occur.

完成

Step 4: Create a method to get the database records

To read the records from the database, you need to call a method get_items_from_db.This method does not yet exist so we will create it with a Quick Assist as follows:

1. Still in your program, enter an instance method call:

   ABAP

   Copy

   data(invoice_items) = invoices->get_items_from_db( ).
