Chainings

If a deeply nested subcomponent is used at an operand position, the operand must be denoted as a chaining of all components leading to this subcomponent. This chaining contains a suitable component selector between each component. The following rules apply to such chained names:

• Taken together, the names to the left of each structure component selector must address a structured data type or a structure.

• Taken together, the names to the left of each object component selector must address a reference variable.

• The class component selector can occur in a name exactly once as the first selector.

• The interface component selector can only occur more than once in a name if other component selectors are listed between the individual interface component selectors.

Note

In addition to the chaining of names, the following chainings are possible:

• Method chainings with the object component selector

• Chainings of table expressions

Chainings can be combined in any way as long as the corresponding rules are respected.

Example

Declaration of a nested structured data type struc2 in struc1 and a structure struc3 in an interface i1.

The component comp of struc3 is a data reference variable of the static type struc1. The i1 interface is the component interface of i2 and the latter is implemented in c1. In c2, a static attribute is declared as the object reference of the static type c1. The expression in the last line can be at an operand position that expects a data object, and identifies the component comp of the structure struc2 in a chaining that starts at class c2. A prerequisite for use of the expression is that both reference variables, oref and dref, point to the respective instances.

INTERFACE i1.
  TYPES: BEGIN OF struc1,
           ...
           BEGIN OF struc2,
             ...,
             comp TYPE ...,
             ...,
           END OF struc2,
           ...
         END OF struc1.
  DATA: BEGIN OF struc3,
          ...
          dref TYPE REF TO struc1,
          ...
        END OF struc3.
ENDINTERFACE.

INTERFACE i2.
  INTERFACES i1.
ENDINTERFACE.

CLASS c1 DEFINITION.
  PUBLIC SECTION.

CLASS c2 DEFINITION.
