CALL METHOD - Calling a method of an ABAP Object

Syntax

CALL METHOD meth.

Additions

1. ... EXPORTING  p1 = f1       ... pn = fn   2. ... IMPORTING  p1 = f1       ... pn = fn  
3. ... CHANGING   p1 = f1       ... pn = fn  
4. ... RECEIVING  p = f  
5. ... EXCEPTIONS except1 = rc1 ... exceptn = rcn

Effect

Calls a method meth in ABAP Objects, the object-oriented extension of ABAP.

You must have defined the method meth in the definition part of a class or interface using the METHODS statement and in the implementation part of a class using the METHOD - ENDMETHOD statements. You can call methods from within a class or from outside, using the normal way of addressing class components.

You define the interface of a method fully when you declare the method using the METHODS statement. The additions to the CALL METHOD statement listed below pass or receive actual parameters to and from this interface.

Addition 1

... EXPORTING p1 = f1       ... pn = fn

Effect

The caller must use the EXPORTING addition to pass any actual parameters f1 ... fn to the IMPORTING parameters p1 ... pn in the method that are not declared as optional. The types of f1 ... fn and p1 ... pn must be compatible.

Example

CLASS C_TEST1 DEFINITION.
  PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS M_TEST1 IMPORTING PAR1 TYPE I DEFAULT 5
                              PAR2 TYPE C OPTIONAL
                              PAR3 TYPE D.
ENDCLASS.

DATA: F TYPE D,
      O_TEST1 TYPE REF TO C_TEST1.

CREATE OBJECT O_TEST1.

CALL METHOD O_TEST1->M_TEST1 EXPORTING PAR3 = F.

CLASS C_TEST1 IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD M_TEST1.
    ...
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.

Addition 2

... IMPORTING  p1 = f1       ... pn = fn

Effect

The optional IMPORTING addition allows the caller to import the EXPORTING parameters p1 ... pn from the method as the actual parameters f1 ... fn. p1 ... pn and f1 ... fn must have compatible types.

Example

CLASS C_TEST1 DEFINITION.
  PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS M_TEST1 IMPORTING PAR1 TYPE I DEFAULT 5
                              PAR2 TYPE C OPTIONAL
                              PAR3 TYPE D.
ENDCLASS.

DATA: F TYPE D,
      O_TEST1 TYPE REF TO C_TEST1.

CREATE OBJECT O_TEST1.

CALL METHOD O_TEST1->M_TEST1 EXPORTING PAR3 = F.

CLASS C_TEST1 IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD M_TEST1.
    ...
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.

Addition 3

... CHANGING p1 = f1       ... pn = fn

Effect

The caller must use the CHANGING addition to pass any actual parameters f1 ... fn to the CHANGING parameter p1 ... pn of the method that are not declared as optional. Once the method is complete, the caller automatically receives the CHANGING parameters of the method as actual parameters.

Example

CLASS C_TEST1 DEFINITION.
  PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS M_TEST1 CHANGING PAR1 TYPE I OPTIONAL
                             PAR2 TYPE C
                             PAR3 TYPE D DEFAULT SY-DATUM.
ENDCLASS.

DATA: F TYPE C,
      O_TEST1 TYPE REF TO C_TEST1.

CREATE OBJECT O_TEST1.

CALL METHOD O_TEST1->M_TEST1 CHANGING PAR2 = F.

CLASS C_TEST1 IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD M_TEST1.
    ...
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.

Addition 4

... RECEIVING p = f

Effect

The optional RECEIVING addition allows the caller to receive the return value p of method meth in an actual parameter f. f must have a compatible type.

Example

CLASS C_TEST1 DEFINITION.
  PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS M_TEST1 RETURNING R TYPE I.
ENDCLASS.

DATA: F TYPE I,
      O_TEST1 TYPE REF TO C_TEST1.

CREATE OBJECT O_TEST1.

CALL METHOD O_TEST1->M_TEST1 RECEIVING R = F.

CLASS C_TEST1 IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD M_TEST1.
    ...
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.

Addition 5

... EXCEPTIONS except1 = rc1 ... exceptn = rcn

Effect

The optional EXCEPTIONS addition allows the callerto handle exceptions in the method meth. You trigger exceptions using the RAISE except and MESSAGE RAISING statements.

The caller handles an exception except by listing it under the EXCEPTIONS addition and assigning it a return code rc. If the exception is triggered, the system stops processing the method, returns control to the caller, and places the return code rc in the system variable SY-SUBRC.
All of the EXPORTING, CHANGING and RETURNING parameters that pass their values by reference (default setting) pass their values to the corresponding actual parameters when an exception occurs. Actual parameters for output that are passed by value retain the values that they had before the method was called.

If the caller does not handle an exception raised by RAISE except, the program is terminated.

If the caller does not handle and exception triggered by MESSAGE RAISING, the message is displayed, and the system continues processing according to the message type.

Example

CLASS C_TEST1 DEFINITION.
  PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS M_TEST1 EXCEPTIONS EXC1
                               EXC2.
ENDCLASS.

DATA O_TEST1 TYPE REF TO C_TEST1.

CREATE OBJECT O_TEST1.

CALL METHOD O_TEST1->M_TEST1 EXCEPTIONS  EXC1 = 10
                                         EXC2 = 20.

CASE SY-SUBRC.
  WHEN 10.
    ...
  WHEN 20.
    ...
ENDCASE.

CLASS C_TEST1 IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD M_TEST1.
    ...
    RAISE EXC1.
    ...
    MESSAGE E012(AT) RAISING EXC2.
    ...
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
