12.inheritance in Local Classes in SAP ABAP

1. The document discusses using inheritance in local classes in SAP ABAP. It defines a parent class and child class that inherits from the parent. 2. A final class is defined which cannot be inherited from. An example shows defining a parent class and inheriting a child class from it using the INHERITING FROM keyword. 3. The child class redefines the parent's method using the REDEFINITION keyword and adds additional code to retrieve material description data. When calling the method on the child class, it first calls the parent method using the SUPER keyword.

Last Updated: November 21st 2013 by Ashok Kumar Reddy

Concept if inheritance, using inheritance in local class using SAP ABAP


programming language

+ -

Final class
Final class is a class property which dosen`t allow to inherite, final class can be specified by using
keyword FINAL
Example:
CLASS CL_PARENT_CLASS DEFINITION FINAL . "Final class can use for inheritance
PUBLIC SECTION.
*METHODS, EVENTS, ATTRIUTES
ENDCLASS.

Final class can not be used for inheritance.

Example of using inheritance in local classes


In the below example we are converting example explained in lesson Using inheritance in SAP
Classes into local classes.Refer the lessons side-by-side for better understanding.

Define a parent class.


CLASS CL_PARENT_CLASS DEFINITION FINAL .
PUBLIC SECTION.
METHODS : GET_MATERIAL_DETAILS
IMPORTING IM_MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR
EXPORTING EX_MARA TYPE MARA.
ENDCLASS.

Implement parent class.


CLASS CL_PARENT_CLASS IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD : GET_MATERIAL_DETAILS.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM MARA
INTO EX_MARA
WHERE MATNR = IM_MATNR.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS. "cl_parent_class

INHERITING FROM is a keyword which is used to derive a class by using inheritance.


REDEFINITION is a keyword which is used to overwrite paraent class method. Define child class
Include an attribute wa_makt to get material description details by using redefinition.

CLASS CL_CHILD_CLASS DEFINITION INHERITING FROM CL_PARENT_CLASS. "inheritance


PUBLIC SECTION.
DATA : WA_MAKT TYPE MAKT. "attribute for material descriptions
METHODS : GET_MATERIAL_DETAILS REDEFINITION. "we will add additional code
ENDCLASS.

Implement child class.


SUPER is a keyword which is used to access parent class methods in child classes.

CLASS CL_CHILD_CLASS IMPLEMENTATION.


METHOD: GET_MATERIAL_DETAILS.
CALL METHOD SUPER->GET_MATERIAL_DETAILS
EXPORTING
IM_MATNR = P_MATNR
IMPORTING
EX_MARA = WA_MARA.
SELECT * FROM MAKT
INTO WA_MAKT
WHERE MATNR = WA_MARA-MATNR AND SPRAS = 'E'.
ENDSELECT.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS. "cl_child_class

The final code will be


Plese try to understand step by step, if you face any difficulty....plese comment at the bottom.
