Reusing Class Methods Should Be Easier

One of the short comings of ABAP is the ability to find and reuse class methods. It is easy to find functions from within the ABAP editor by clicking the [Pattern] button. But to find a method you first need to know what class it is in.

One way to overcome this is to search the table VSEOCOMPDF from SE16 but that’s a bit awkward, so I have written the below program to search for and display a list of methods based on selection criteria. I have written the code as a report with local classes to make it easily portable.

To implement this you can simply copy and paste the code into a new report in SE38. Here it is called ZFIND_METHOD but you can choose any name that suits you. When you save the code you can make it a local object. There is no need for this program to be transported.

From the SE38 editor screen press [F5]* or click the [Text Symbols] button to go to Text Elements. Click the [Compare Texts Symbols] (Right most on the tool bar) then click [Edit] then [Insert text symbols]. Press [F11] to save then [F3] to return.

After that click the [Selection Texts] tab. Check every [DDIC Reference] and press enter and then press [Ctrl]+[F3] to activate the text.

* Some of the shortcuts mentioned above will not work on older versions of SAP.

SAP ABAP Certification, SAP ABAP Career, SAP ABAP Jobs, SAP ABAP Prep, SAP ABAP Preparation, SAP ABAP Guides, SAP ABAP Central, SAP ABAP Method, SAP ABAP Certification

Watch out for my next post which will explain how to call this functionality from the ABAP editor and to return the call pattern similar to the ABAP Objects Patterns currently available.

If you find this program useful please let me know by clicking like below or if you feel there is room for improvement please leave a comment.

Have fun in your programming and remember: Keep it simple and keep it neat.
