Using CONSTRUCTOR method in SAP local classes, CONSTRUCTOR in SAP
ABAP Object Oriented Programming.
+ -
CONSTRUCTOR is a special type of a method which will trigger whenever a class object is
instantiated (create object), mainly these constructors are used to set default values for the
particaular instance.
CONSTRUCTOR name is always [Link] is just similer to method, it only
have importing parameters and no exporting parameters.
Follow below steps to create constructor method .
Define class
CLASS CL_CONSTRUCTOR_EXAMPLE DEFINITION. "class definition
PUBLIC SECTION.
DATA : LV_LANGUAGE TYPE SPRAS.
METHODS : CONSTRUCTOR "Constructor method
IMPORTING IM_SPRAS TYPE SPRAS.
METHODS : GET_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTIONS "method to get material descriptions
IMPORTING IM_MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR
EXPORTING EX_MAKT TYPE MAKT.
ENDCLASS.
Implement class
CLASS CL_CONSTRUCTOR_EXAMPLE IMPLEMENTATION. "class implementation
METHOD: CONSTRUCTOR.
LV_LANGUAGE = IM_SPRAS.
ENDMETHOD.
METHOD: GET_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTIONS.
SELECT * FROM MAKT INTO EX_MAKT
WHERE MATNR = IM_MATNR AND SPRAS = LV_LANGUAGE .
ENDSELECT.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS. "CL_CONSTRUCTOR_EXAMPLE
Use the class
DATA LO_CLASS TYPE REF TO CL_CONSTRUCTOR_EXAMPLE. "declare class
DATA : WA_MAKT TYPE MAKT. "makt work area
PARAMETERS : P_MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR. "input material number
PARAMETERS P_SPRAS TYPE MAKT-SPRAS. "input language to pass to constructor
START-OF-SELECTION.
CREATE OBJECT LO_CLASS "create object for class, constructor method will trigger
here
EXPORTING
IM_SPRAS = P_SPRAS.
CALL METHOD LO_CLASS->GET_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTIONS "call method to get materiald
escriptions
EXPORTING
IM_MATNR = P_MATNR
IMPORTING
EX_MAKT = WA_MAKT.
WRITE :/ WA_MAKT-MATNR, WA_MAKT-MAKTX, WA_MAKT-SPRAS. "print data
Final code will be

METHODS : GET_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTIONS "method to get material descriptions
IMPORTING IM_MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR
EXPORTING EX_MAKT TYPE MAKT.
ENDCLASS.

CREATE OBJECT LO_CLASS "create object for class, constructor method will trigger
here
EXPORTING
IM_SPRAS = P_SPRAS.
CALL METHOD LO_CLASS->GET_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTIONS "call method to get materiald
escriptions
EXPORTING
IM_MATNR = P_MATNR
IMPORTING
EX_MAKT = WA_MAKT.
WRITE :/ WA_MAKT-MATNR, WA_MAKT-MAKTX, WA_MAKT-SPRAS. "print data
CLASS CL_CONSTRUCTOR_EXAMPLE IMPLEMENTATION. "class implementation
METHOD: CONSTRUCTOR.
LV_LANGUAGE = IM_SPRAS.
ENDMETHOD.
METHOD: GET_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTIONS.
SELECT * FROM MAKT INTO EX_MAKT
WHERE MATNR = IM_MATNR AND SPRAS = LV_LANGUAGE .
ENDSELECT.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS. "CL_CONSTRUCTOR_EXAMPLE

Using CLASS-CONSTRUCTOR in
SAP Local classes
Last Updated: November 13th 2013 by Ashok Kumar Reddy
Using CLASS-CONSTRUCTOR in SAP Local Classes, Object Oriented ABAP
Constructor method.
+ -
CLASS-CONSTRUCTOR is a special type of method which will execute automatically when the first
call of a class is made (call may through instance or through method).
CLASS-CONSTRUCTOR dosen`t support any importing and exporting parameters, it is mainly used
to set default values in classes.
Please refer previous lesson Using CONSTRUCTOR method in SAP Local classes .
Program for CLASS-CONSTRUCTOR
