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 CONSTRUCTOR.Constructor 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
REPORT ZSAPN_LOCAL_CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR.

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.
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
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
